The prescriptivist vs. descriptivist war on spelling and grammar will go on forever, and both are important, but one principle reigns supreme: meaning.
What are you trying to say? Is your meaning comprised by your improper use of spelling or grammar? Or is it perhaps enhanced? Pull out your artistic licence if you must. But always ask yourself - how will what I am saying affect the meaning?
This is really just a roundabout way of trying to get across that:
Don't say you want to be apart of something when you really want to be a part of something!
They pretty much mean the opposite of each other.
