Note
The verb here always takes an object: someone neglects a garden, a duty, a friend, or, in a scientist's working shorthand, a term too small to change the result, as when a calculation neglects air resistance. The same spelling can also be a plural noun, since neglect is countable as well as uncountable. Context tells them apart: she neglects her health versus the small neglects of a busy life.
