Ah......Susan, I'd settle with correctly spelled English around here. 
(Or maybe even a set of minimal standards for quote attribution, 
which is nowadays on the slap-dash side.)

IMHO, those of us who do know music theory and notation (or can 
learn) will make a contribution to the general musicianship if we use 
(and reinforce) the the language of musicians. Honoring this language 
will also remind us of their importance in our business. Provincial 
dialects are good for the shop (heck, you can even even make up 
technical terms, like "magic line"). But let's tell the public that 
if we ourselves aren't musicians, we certainly are hired by them.
