Actually, the forces "electric" and "magnetism" are one and the same. This is taught in high school physics.

Please, know the difference between electromagnets and electromagnetism. Electromagnets are coils of wire arranged so as to create an (electro)magnetic field when electricity is passed through them. Electromagnetism is a force which applies to all thing electronic and/or magnetic.

I haven't had high school level physics, nor will I ever. I chose something else that interests me more. Guess I was wrong. Still, I would have left out "electro", just to avoid any confusion.

Hmm. Well, TBH then you shouldn't start talking about something which you even said you don't know about. It's not wrong in the slightest, but you certainly are.

It sounded to me like he was wrong, I pointed it out, and was corrected. I admitted that he was right, but said that it wasn't necessarily common knowledge.

Still not electromagnets. He could have left the "electro" out, and I wouldn't have said anyting.

durr the force of magnetism falls in the class of the electromagnetic fundamental force

Still not electromagnets.

we're learning about electromagnetics in electronics, thats why i said it

Doesn't make it any less wrong. In fact, because you're learning about them, means that you should know the difference, and not make that mistake in the first place.
