[QUOTE]Originally posted by musicfan: [QB] Don't mean to start an argument, but I think the "right" grammar, use and spelling of words over the centuries has been whatever the common use was and whatever was understandable. If people understand what someone else is saying, then it's right in everyway except maybe in some school assignment. Who decided what was right in the first place? I'm just finishing up reading an older book from the late 1600's (pilgrims progress), and the author, Mr. John Bunyan spells "music", "musick". I know what he means. Being an amateur musician who plays by chords and ear, I run into this type of discussion with people like my sister who play music from "classical" notes. She and others who play this way seem to think there is a "right" way and a "wrong" way to play music like it's a math question. For me, and others in my camp, it's just whatever sounds cool. Me and my sister just have to agree to disagree. I personally think spelling, language and therefore grammar is very close to art and music, and very far away from math. So we will probably have to agree to disagree also. Respectfully, [/QB][/QUOTE]
