Finally I understand that v which. Many a debate with my tech writer colleagues about switching the words out but never a satisfactory explanation for why!
Half my Google searchers are about X word vs Y word to make sure I understand them. While I get simple easy answers I love how much depth you go into not just explaining them but using them in examples. (Invoke vs Evoke has always been a challenge) I remember that one as In-voke to bring In from outside, and E-voke as Emitting from within.
I HATE when books on the occult get the two confused, and try to BS logic around it. "I am evoking the angels from within me" okay, but you still must invoking to invite them into your body (and hope they stay) before you can evoke them out.
Unless you are imprisoning angelic being inside of you like some kind of celestial battery. Then they mess that up by saying "as I evoke the angels they begin to surround me." No you invoked them, and are evoking the strength they give you! *shakes fist at occultists*
Also, while this may not have been your plan for today's article it will sure help me when I begin to edit my 5k word document on my splicing of magic and science. Helping me to remember to use appropriate words as microbe and microorganisms. The singular and plural versions of the same word. Yet many will add an "S" to microbe rather than use microorganisms. Another example is microbiota and microbiome. While microbiota is the "ecological communities of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms" the microbiome is the aggregate of all microbiota communities as a whole.
Did not mean for this comment to high jack the article, as I wanted to mostly share that I have been cross referencing similarly spelled, pronounced , and used words since tour first article.
PS: your articles are a joy to read with the subtle humor tossed in. They always make me giggle when I read them!
