"vinyls" is here to stay.

[Erik Tracy]

Everything has "ok" these days so folks don't get butt hurt over words.

It's still 'wrong' in my book.

My 23 year old calls them vinyls

Yup. Mine too. He listens to spotify for convenience and recognizes that it's compressed crap. But he collects VINYLS and that should be encouraged no matter what he calls them.

Maybe it's time for a revised edition.

Kinda like how Berkeley banned the use of the word "manhole" and San Fran the word "convicted criminal"?

Silly, imho.

 

[scavenger]

huh huh... "manhole"

The plural of vinyl is vinyl. Anything else is simply wrong.

While we're on this track, when did Gifted change from a description of people with exceptional talents to the past tense of giving a gift?

Here's another just as bad. Using the non word conversate for converse. It's the only word I'm aware of where the slang term has more syllables than the original word.

 

[knotscott]

Meh, either way. If hearing the term "vinyl" is the worst thing that happens on any given day, it's a pretty good day!

Guess it all depends on how you're "ORIENTATED"

Vinyl is perfectly fine. "Vinyls" is the one that's totally incorrect and cringe worthy.

Irregardless is now an official word in the dictionary.
What next? Vinyls?

@scavenger you profile says “New Member” not sure how true that is because it says you joined in 2016.

Anyway you will find a bunch of grumpy boomers here that resist change at all costs

Vinyls is great as is gears when talking about your system.

I did find out no hear the other day that Vinyls not Vinylz is the proper use.

I've elevated lurking to a new high!

AND MANY things that I didn't already know about gearz and vinylz I've learned HERE so BIG UPS to AK.

Fixed that for ya.

[cubdog]

Precisely. That's why I'm explaining why it is accepted, and should not be "corrected"

I have no complaint. I may not like the use of vinyls but it's such a little thing to get upset about. I have enough on that plate already.

Vinyls 24/7 irregardless!
