And what about the "empty" space between the sub-atomic particles?

And what about quarks[^] then? Neither atoms nor sub-atomic particles can make them.

Quarks are sub-atomic particles

Well in a way, but that would be like saying sub-atomic particles are atoms or atoms are molecules, wouldn't it?

"Particle" is a pretty generic term that describes a small amount of matter.
A particle can describe sand, dust, atoms, protons, neutrons, quarks, electrons or anything that makes up something larger.

Didn't someone say "pedantic"? 
In my defense, I would say when one says "sub-atomic", the idea generally converges to protons, electrons and neutrons. Of which, protons and neutrons are composed up of quarks. I was simply going after your post that atoms can't make up sub-atomic particles and simply meant quarks make up sub-atomic particles.

It looks legit, but..
"I came across your recently posted resume on Monster and wanted to extend a personal invitation to you. You may have the skills necessary for a rewarding independent sales career in the insurance industry. "
After reading my resume, she concluded that my 30 years as a software engineer somehow qualifies me to sell insurance, or that I even remotely might want to???
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Hey be fair, you are a living warm blooded being, that not only qualifies you for sales but makes you actually over qualified.
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

Not really - I have a heart and gut, and to sell insurance you have to be a heartless, gutless SOB.

I will never be able to take seriously someone called Mona - in venetian "mona" means "female genitalia" or "stupid". Also used is the expression "ma va in mona!" that means "elephant off"
