Warning! Threadcreep imminent! I have noticed lately that a singer (or vocalist or whatever) can actually sing into a microphone, and I still can't understand all the words. I want to give them diction lessons! To me a singer is really a musician when they have the right blend of technique and expression.

I know what you mean about people using certain verbage that leaves you wondering. I think it's just a matter of not thinking it through or not being aware of proper terminology. Probably not malicious.... my guess anyway. Margo
