I doubt that the poster who incorrectly used “wether” knows weather it applies only to sheep.

Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

For the most part, these two words can be used interchangeably.
There is some overlap, all right, but I question the "for the most part" part.
Agreed. Just because a lot of people are misusing "insure," does not make its misuse proper use.

("that" as well, I'm constantly typing that, when I mean to type than. Doesn't happen with then.)
