I've never been able to sort the two out! Even the dictionary left me very hazy on the topic. When would I use one and when would I use the other?

I know the Algonquins are a tribe of Native Americans. The only reference to Round Table I know of is from the Arthurian legends. I've heard this term in literary and political circles. A little help here? :)

I'm giving my mother a lesson on the basic rules of grammar so that she doesn't have to call me at all hours of the day asking me to proofread her letters and emails via telephone.

We are working on commas right now. Here is an example I gave her:

"I hope that my daughter doesn't think that I'm illiterate, simply because I cannot form a grammatically correct sentence."

I got a little confused myself with that one! Does it need the comma, or does it not? I know that if the "simply" wasn't in there it wouldn't, but does the "simply" change anything?

What is the general rule for this? I'm in college, so I write paper after paper without ever thinking twice about my grammar, and I never have any corrections about my grammar. However, now that I'm really thinking about this, I realize that I don't even know the rule on this!

Thank you very much! I'll pick a best answer TODAY!

I use it twice in one sentence, and I *can't* think of an appropriate replacement for either one:
"Outside of my studies I have developed a deep interest in animal rights and ethics, developing a particular commitment to the greyhound industry,"

I am creating a hypothetical business seminar in Lansing Michigan for Hispanic small business owners. It is called the Hispanic Entrepreneurs Institute of Lansing (HEIL) so far. I was wondering if anyone could help me come up with a better name. More importantly, one that the acronym would say something in Spanish. Something along the lines of opportunity, prosperity, growth or other positive words associated with self improvement. Thanks for all the help.

For example, there is the Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally as she moves from Left to Right, which is used to help people remember the order of operations (Paranthesis, exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction, starting from the left and working right)

Is there a word for doing this?
