The difference between SYSTEMIC (Greek, “within a set”) and - TopicsExpress



          

The difference between SYSTEMIC (Greek, “within a set”) and SYSTEMATIC (Old French, “according to a system”) is not one of simply using the latter word to sound more important or educated. Consider using systemic when you refer to everything within a single system. If a problem is systemic in one’s essay, such as messing up its and it’s, one needs to correct the initial misunderstanding of the concept to prevent its recurrence. The adjective “systematic” describes a methodical process, like correcting each misunderstanding of its and it’s every time it appears, but not necessarily dealing with the initial misunderstanding.
