Subject: RE: 'Acoustic' and 'live' music
I daresay, but I'll still rail against it. Somebody has to. Just because people are lazy about language doesn't mean we must shrug our shoulders and let it pass without comment. That way, we end up with nobody understanding what's being said, and language ceases to function. We're already in that position much of the time; hence threads asking questions like the above.(It isn't just me, you see...)
And while you're explaining things, try explaining the use of the term 'unplugged' (as applied to instruments that weren't plugged in in the first place). You'll need to be quick; the tide is around our knees.

Canute.
