How did Entree ever get to mean Main Course (in the USA) rather than Appetizer? How did that ever happen?I hear you, Bill. I'm sure for anyone dealing with wood it would be a lot easier to call a board Bolivian Rosewood rather than Striped Caviuna. If it has similar properties, it is somewhat descriptive also. However, I would hate to spend the extra $1,000 to $2,000 on what I might think was a "South American Rosewood" instrument and find out I'm plucking on Bolivian Striped Caviuna.
...and, Bill, is that Chippendales or Chip 'N' Dales?
Let's do this. People who don't want to use the academic definition can keep calling whatever they want folk songs and "old fogies" can keep up their "pedantic" "pontifications" by correcting. At least we got to make our point again.
All the best (really),
Dan
