You should try to look up gramophone. This is the original word for the
record player, and is really the official word. I am sure it will be in the dictionary forever. There are many words for things that are no longer used, or existed at one time or another. Recognized dictionaries are the Compton, Oxford, and Webster, just to mention a few. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ============================================== WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm Instruments http://www.zoom-one.com/glgtech.htm ============================================== "Barry Mann" wrote in message om...

Of course any self respecting audio enthusiast [not to mention audiophile] never owned a record changer, she owns a [hopefully manual] turntable. SO good riddance. Besides "record changer" is two words. There's no reason for the multiple word entry to be in a dictionary as the combination of the words "record" and "changer" produce an obvious meaning. |

Ahh yes, our resident expert spews forth:
In article , Jerry G. wrote: You should try to look up gramophone. This is the original word for the record player, and is really the official word. The "official" word? Really? Can you point to the standards organization in which this word is "officially" sanctioned or required? ITU? AES? ISO? IEC? What penalty is levied by such organization for non-use of this "official" word? Sheesh... -- | Dick Pierce | | Professional Audio Development | | 1-781/826-4953 Voice and FAX | | | |

The original post says nothing about the Merriam-Webster dictionary, only the Philly Inquirer leading one to believe that the dictionary is of the same name. Since there was no link in the original post as well one can only assume which dictionary he was referring to. I would suggest you pay more attention to the facts available in the post at hand before going off half cocked and calling other people illiterate, it makes you look rather an ass which your post name seems to confirm... |

The original post says nothing about the Merriam-Webster dictionary, only the Philly Inquirer leading one to believe that the dictionary is of the same name. No, most literate people assume that he was referring to an established dictionary, and merely made a slight omission by associating it with the paper that reported it. A quick google was all it took for me to confirm what I assumed about the OP. Since there was no link in the original post as well one can only assume which dictionary he was referring to. No, you just wanted to engage in trolling. I would suggest you pay more attention to the facts available in the post at hand before going off half cocked and calling other people illiterate, it makes you look rather an ass which your post name seems to confirm... I don't know how you can infer that my post was illiterate. There is nothing wrong with using an alias, I suppose your birth certificate has Windsor Fox on it? I change my alias often, this is just the one I currently find amusing. It was the name of Gwenyth Paltrow's spy character in the opening sequence of the Austin Powers Goldmember movie. Lighten up, this is usenet, not real life. |
