And the answer is certainly, because if you are apart from it you would have nothing to do do with it. However, if you want to be a part of one, that's a different story altogether.

Im sure they understood what i meant considering i didn't say "apart from"..instead i said "apart of" meaning together even though i meant to separate apart to "a part".. They didnt respond with that thought, they understood exactly what i meant and continued on to let me know that it was possible and that it is hard. And some continued to let me know that being A PART of the sorority even helped them..so they didn't find any misconception of my typo since they seemed to answer the question correctly. The only misconception on this thread was the assumption that my grades were not good because i said i don't consider myself smart. But sorry for your confusion. You didn't quite answer my question so if you'd like to do so rather than comment on a silly typo that would be great! Thanks in advance

Typos are not silly when all you have for someone to go on is what you type. "Teh" is a typo. "A part" and "apart" have two completely different meanings. If you don't bother to check what you write, it leads people to assume that you don't bother to check the details of anything else you pursue in life as well.

I would understand it being an issue if other people on this thread posting saw confusion in it..but they didn't so i didn't see what the big deal is...Thats a huge assumption to compare it to not checking the details of anything i purse in life lol. I can assure you the papers i write dont contain those typos. I didn't commit a crime i just wasn't paying attention as i wrote it. I can be a fast typer. Like when i say the word "write" i sometimes write "right" because im just not paying attention online. Stuff happens. Its kind of crazy for this to be over thought and the little mistake i made to be made into a big deal. But i understand that is some people's opinion. now i'd like to stay back on topic if you don't mind since this is getting off topic.

Typo ridden post? Fail? That's mature. This has nothing to do with the context of my thread so please stop this. This is being taken way too far. I've never seen someone on this site get commented for the mistakes they've made and i've seen plenty of miswritten words. It's not that serious. Nobody died.

Then you're obviously VEEEEEEEERY new, since people get called out all the time, especially for apart/a part. Oh, and expecting a thread to stay on topic is also very rookie around here.

I am very new. So far it just seems like people want to pick arguments and i don't like that. It's unnecessary. If people posting got confused by that i would understand the need to point out my mistake but they didn't so it just wasn't necessary to be rude about it or as they put it "snarky".
