I am pretty sure i used the two words appropriately.
Further, Steemit and Steem are much more interconnected than anyone would like, and those connections must be acknowledged or they will come back to bite anyone who makes a decision based on the ideal that the two are separate.
Depends on what you mean by Steemit, the UI or the company. Seriously, a lot of people conflate the blockchain and the UI.
By the way, I wasn't accusing you of confusing the two.
