andywax Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Just to clarify, the term wax was not created by DJs. It comes from phonographic, or wax cylinders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph_cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleevanswastaken Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 When someone says "vinyl," does the boogey man come to your house and rape your mom? Yes. Yes he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Who gives a fuck what other people call vinyl? Seriously this is fucking retarded. It doesnt bother me one bit when people say vinyl. I have real shit to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Because the plural of vinyl isnt vinyl. Its vinyl and at 21 someone should understand the fucking language they have been immersed in for their whole life. Kind of like knowing correct placement for apostrophes and punctuation and that the correct form for this sentence is "in which they have been immersed". Right? Someone needs to learn these folks how to talk English good. that's what we get for being a country that spends more money on bombs then schools.

tim Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I say the worst is when people say "vinyl is the plural of vinyl." Fail. Vinyl is a non-count noun. It has no plural form because it's measurable, not countable. Just like there is no plural for "water" or "music" or "air". If "vinyl were the plural of vinyl" then it would be grammatical to say "I bought three vinyl." But it's not because it's not fucking countable. I think I've gone off on this tangent before...

I think that's one of the best arguments I've read in a "vinyl" thread. Thanks tim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 haha I can just see it now. "DUDE! I just got 4 vinyl at the record store today!" then we will be stuck with a new thread complaining about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I dunno why people care about such stupid shit who cares if you call it vinyl or Wax or if you shop at Hot Topic just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy and say what they want to say and stop being so goddam judgemental Because the plural of vinyl isnt vinyl. Its vinyl and at 21 someone should understand the fucking language they have been immersed in for their whole life. If no one teaches you that the plural of vinyl is indeed vinyl, then how are you supposed to know? I'm sure there's a ton of dumb things you do in life and you'd probably blow a fuse if someone called you out on every single little thing. Relax a little and enjoy life. FYI, there are grammar flaws in the quote, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lydiawesome Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah the main person I am venting about has only 1 language and its english. He has lived on the same street as me for his whole life. Maybe you should move. As for this: Your face is worthless. Really, that was your best shot? Go and get your degree in English language or whatever, so that this horrible mistake doesn't get passed down to future generations. Or maybe lay off the 'roids and go smoke a joint so that you can chill the fuck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am canadian, we spend more money on stickers and temporary tattoos than we do on bombs. Yeah the main person I am venting about has only 1 language and its english.
