scrumpymike Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1486735625' post='3234222'] 'Bass' (musical instrument) pronounced 'Base'. Bass (fish) pronounced 'Bass'. Basswood pronounced 'Basswood' not 'Basewood' Welcome to pedants corner. [/quote] According to Apostrophe, the Greek goddess of punctuation, it's 'pedants[b]'[/b] corner'... In defence of pedants, most of them (OK, us) just love language as much as music and seeing the wrong word hurts just like hearing a bum note. Edited February 10, 2017 by scrumpymike Quote
