Heart of the matter: Core vs. corps

Be careful of confusing core and corps, because they’re fighting words.

Core refers to the center or innermost part of something, such as an apple core or a computer core.

Corps, however, refers to a group of people, especially a subdivision in the military, as in the Marine Corps or the 5th Army Corps.

Given this, a specific corps could be the core of the military but not the other way around!

Whether you live in California’s urban Inland Empire or Colorado’s rural town of Empire, I can provide that second eye.
