Let's face it. The English language is going to hell in a handbasket.

The word "acoustic" is now applied to solid-bodied electric guitars that can only make a minuscule sound all by itself (acoustically) and needs to be plugged into a wall socket with amplifier and speaker attached to be heard more than a few feet away.

"Classic guitar" used to mean a flat-topped acoustic guitar with a wide neck and nylon strings. Now, if you google "classic guitar," you'll come up with things like "the classic Fender Stratocaster."

And let's not get into the meaning of "folk" or "traditional." Blood has been splattered over several threads while discussing those words!

When does the next star ship leave for Alpha Centauri?
