In commensalism, one member of the association benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Small marine animals called barnacles, for example, often attach themselves to a whale's skin. The barnacles perform no known service to the whale, nor do they harm it. Yet, the barnacles benefit from the constant movement of water past the swimming whale, because the water carries food particles to them.

include, but are not limited to, spelling and capitalisation.

i love muffins is an example of some one who likes muffins
Dear previous poster: No, "i love muffins is an example of some
one who likes muffins" is not an example of someone who likes
muffins. You present a scenario, which ought not to be confused
with an example. In the scenario you provide, the muffin-liker is
the exemplar of someone who likes muffins. "I (note that it is
capitalised) love muffins" would then be an example of what an
exemplar (in this example) might say. In this example, your
scenario becomes an example.
