use terms like whole note, half note, etc either! full stop!

the words semi-breve, minim, crotchet, and semi-hemi-demi-quaver are much more descriptive and infinitely more efficient. don't you agree?

my dear seven,

just a couple of corrections - 'semibreve' is not hyphenated and
the correct term is hemidemisemiquaver.

without your ridiculous mistakes, this system is obviously much clearer!

stop it you two - i may be just in a good mood because i'm going to see oscar - but you're making me laugh too much :)
maybe we used to have a bureau of confusion in charge of nomenclature, spelling and distances/measurements.

barry,
i'm not sure where all this is coming from but i cannot see what gordon's post has shown incorrectly. american dates are with the month first, ours (british)are with the month second. i see no reason what so ever to ask someone from the united states to alter anything.
i enjoy using our english language which is coloured with plenty of american terms and i enjoy the close relationship we have with their people, a very great many of whom are decendants that came from england.

american culture and their special music called jazz has given me over 60 years of immense pleasure. and i just gel with the vibes and accept their slight variations in speech and spelling. it makes the world a friendlier place i think.

paddy, barry was right in a way - i'm from the uk, the post was mostly relevant to brits, but i copied the dates from a website and was too lazy to anglicize them.

hmmmmmmmm.....

putting the day first would seem to make more sense, because then the numbers are all going in order from smaller increments to larger increments (days, months, years).

on the other hand, the month/day/year fits better with the way we (at least americans) use dates in conversation (we say "the concert will be held on march 25th, 2005"). in the uk, would you say "the concert will be held on the 25th of march, 2005" or would you put the month first in conversation? americans could say it either way, but would be more likely to say the month first. also, what system do other countries use for dates?

the netherlands use british style too, or the british use our style:) that gives us another reason too put days up front because oscar peterson will also be playing in the hague.

we brits usually use - "25th of march"
ie "i say old bean ,the jolly old concert will be on the 25th of march 2005 by jove"
but one would suffer neither incomprehension nor social opprobrium for saying "march the 25th".

the most valuable part of this thread has been the long overdue creation of "the bureau of confusion" by gordon
what a better world it would be if all towns had such bureaus and posssably answered to the central confusion agency.

ok guys. sheesh, i didn't want to start a philosophical discussion about this. in my excitement to book to see oscar (in manchester) i inadvertently mistook the date, not bothering to look further down the list. it was meant as a (not very funny) laugh. personally, i don't care a flying crap how our cousins across the duck pond choose to do anything except play jazz... anyway, thanks again gordon for posting. roll on 3/7!

this could be a good idea for a room - scot, what about a 'noticeboard' room for people to post upcoming events and gig dates. we all know that jazz doesn't always get the publicity it should. as well as 'big names' people could also post details of their own jazz gigs...

noted. the bureau shall take that into consideration and forward it to to the central agency if necessary.
