EssentialTension Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 Or it's plectrum, or pick, or flatpick ... you can call it what you like. 'Hey Charlie, I've forgotten mine, can I borrow a pick?' 'Sorry I've only got plectrums.' 'You're a tosser ... just lend me one of your plectra.' 3 6 Quote

A mate of mine says “scratchguard” - riles me, dunno why. wife also calls the glovebox in a car “the drop down” - really p*sses me off. Quote

FinnDave Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 I play with a pick. Plectrum sounds like some snobby Latin word that oiks like me aren't supposed to understand. And if there's some thing that disturbs my normally placid outlook on life, it is people who insist on using latin plurals. They are obviously unaware that once a loan word has been assimilated into a language, it takes the grammatical forms of the host language. 2 Quote
