Xaj Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Et tu brute? Shouldn't it be "Et tu Brutus?" I mean, in propper latin? (if such a thing exists. Well, it's difficult to speak a dead language, right? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freak show Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Shouldn't it be "Et tu Brutus?" I mean, in propper latin? (if such a thing exists. Well, it's difficult to speak a dead language, right? ) "Proper Latin" does exist -- in books at any rate and in the Catholic Church -- and "Brute" is correct. Brutus is being addressed in this sentence, which means that the vocative case is required. "Brutus" would be the nominative case. All those years of Latin finally paid off!!!

milod Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Freak... Thumbs up for you. Technically English also has a vocative - but it's seldom considered at all nowadays. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I 'spect I shoulda capitalized Brute. By definition a dead language is always proper, as it is dead... meaning unchanging. That is why it is so convenienet for peoples of different languages to be able communicate, like church services or scientists.... Wow! two divergent populations separated by a common language...

FirstMeasure Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Can y'all speak Guitar, please? .... Sure... Nothing like a Crescendo into a grand Fortissimo on an overdriven Les Paul. And it's amazing how the same Guitar and Amp can nail Pianissimo. Of course it's mostly the player, it's not like there's a Sforzando button built into the guitar.

Why are bigsbys, Floyd-roses, stetsbars etc called tremelos when they produce a vibrato effect. Tremelo is a fluctuation of volume, not pitch.

And as long as the legato kicks maximus bruttocks and the staccato is nailed accordingly within the range of the concerto and or the vicissitudes of the venue therein.

Tremelo is a fluctuation of volume, not pitch. Because Fender first used the words by interchanging them, and we all know that Fender is doctrine.
