Bumping this thread to celebrate the 7 month anniversary of me missing the 10th birthday of this thread. Weird to think this thread is older than Micky.

I saw this on an Instagram post and I've been going nuts thinking about it ever since. "Thank you for letting me be apart of your wedding." One space makes a world of difference.

Apart vs. A part
Apart - separated by a distance; at a specified distance from each other in time or space.
A part - a piece or segment of something such as an object, activity, or period of time, which combined with other pieces makes up the whole

Won't be hard to top

I'm quite often stuck at work between "realtime" and "real time". It's one of the few phrases I'm still not sure which is correct in any particular instance.

If it helps, I've never heard of "realtime" being written as one word before. Definitely go with "in real time" in any situation.

Also, the 'letting me be apart of your day" thing irks me! It means basically the opposite of what you're trying to say.

I've never heard of "realtime" either, I Googled it a couple of days ago and just did it again, this was new I think:

"Real-time, with a hyphen, is an adjective describing something in which results, feedback, or statistical data follow input with no noticeable delay. The word is increasingly spelled realtime, and this may eventually become the standard spelling if people continue to find the adjective useful. For now, though, the hyphenated form is preferred." https://grammarist.com/spelling/real-time

Sorry. I actually meant the difference between real-time, real time and realtime. The standards in the IT industry are all over the place.

Song vs. Soung
Some of you may have received an email or two this week in which it became apparent that this needed to be said.
Song - n. - a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung.
Soung - not a word. Maybe a clumsy portmanteau of song and sung/sound?

Council vs. Counsel (inspired by a conversation with Andy92 & Micky
Council - n. - an assembly or meeting for consultation, advice, or discussion
Counsel - n. - advice given especially as a result of consultation - (alt.) v. - to advise

Example from text message with Andy92 (pm me for his phone number, I'm giving it out freely):
"After consulting with the math council they have counseled me the following consultancy."
