@pcooper A chord of two notes with five "steps" between them is known as a fifth.
-
@Mason_Wheeler so it should be in the pun thread?
-
@Arantor Sounds nerdy to me. Just not the usual kind of nerd we get around here.
-
@PleegWat That's how the 3rd movement of @HardwareGeek's Op.1 begins!

Two notes make an interval. It takes 3 or more notes to make a chord ("power 'chords'" notwithstanding).

Actually, it begins
although that is subject to change, and it may not wind up being numbered Op. 1, and it may not ever get finished.

@HardwareGeek I guess until then we'll make our own music by having playing cards cause barriers in fax machines
Come on, stop wasting your time on those videogames

That reminds me, I've got to publish the score for my masterpiece, " in G major":
-
@Zerosquare careful, John Cage may sue you for plagiarism.
-
But I'd easily prove him wrong. I mean, my work and his don't even have a single note in common.
-
@Zerosquare but if you play both versions at the same time you will hear how they don't differ by a single note either...

A real would use the key of C major.
-
That's the beauty of this piece. If you don't like G major, you can play it whichever key you prefer, with zero effort needed!

@Zerosquare
A real composer would have written it in E double sharp
-
@izzion ... only to get vetoed by his editor when it came time to publish.

How long is that fermata? Just keep it less than, say, 4 minutes and you should be ok.

I didn't know Liszt was a baseball fan.

@Mason_Wheeler You're a real Linux if you remember when you had to compile programs yourself.

@jinpa I haven't had to compile my own kernel in, what 20 years?

@Tsaukpaetra How would it be pronounced in, say, Italian? Hard, because it's an abbreviation of word starting with hard G, or soft, because it's followed by an I?
Of course I pronounce it with hard G simply because in Czech G is never soft, and in general every letter always represents the same sound (with some exceptions to voicing). And I'd say pronouncing abbreviations with local rules is as, or more, common than with rules of the language they come from.
-
@Bulb the guy who coined the file format fell on the soft-G side because it’s followed by an I, and because he wanted to riff on an American peanut butter brand called Jif.

That's precisely why I'm asking about Italian, which has that rule, and unlike English, tends to actually follow its rules.

I also remember the surface cleaner because I am modestly old.
Autocorrect, why did you fix “rejejber” as “remejber” because you know that is not a correct word?

Yeah, that's why git is pronounced the way it is too. He must have had a gift for how things spelled with an initial
should be pronounced.

What, that English works? I suppose that is not a given, that it works at all.

@Arantor That would be a display of the famed, dry, British humour, yes?

If you like. I am given to understand that it exists, but I would never suggest I was ever a proficient wielder of the Wit.
