Harmonious wordsmith. Writer, editor, designer, concert programmer, lapsed flutist/pianist. I dance & draw. Logging out due to the present emergency.

Might add this to my bio: “dauntingly knowledgeable, warmly encouraging and very thorough” Thankyou @GusMcPherson :) https://t.co/xUJsNeYe4y

@GrammarTable As a writer/editor specialising in the performing arts, I wholeheartedly agree. Related: keeping up with whether American symphony orchestras actually have the word "orchestra" in their name or not.

@GrammarTable Oops! Read that as "correct" not "INcorrect". Should have voted no. Although I'd normally say "I'm well" rather than "I am well."

@JFD8 @GrammarTable An organ recital, you mean?

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@GrammarTable I don't recall specifically learning this in school (I'm assuming you mean high school), but I'm sure I probably was. If not, I must have read about it at some point.

@AllanOlley @GrammarTable And the British werewolf is more like weir-wolf

@refinersfiremu1 @Paul_McCreesh @thetimes When I was teaching music in Australian high schools in the 1990s, all classical music was "opera".

@_Michje @Paul_McCreesh @thetimes But the journalist didn't necessarily write the headline (news journalists almost never write their own headlines, or even their own standfirsts for that matter). That said, there's a definite odour of "elegant variation" here.

@HellTweet @VikingurMusic The circular device in the background is clearly intended to represent the wheel of fortune. So that's Orff covered. And the figure in the front? Well, that's the Unanswered Question, obviously. That leaves the choice of red: let's say that's the apple, which led to The Fall. ;)

@HellTweet @VikingurMusic Carl Orff meets Metropolis?

@K_FromOz @goddek Note that it’s listed in the Young Adult category. So not, as the OP was objecting, something being presented to primary school students.

@kalthorN8 @keshavchan @soychotic And Finder Preferences has always (well, for a very long time) had the option of hiding external drives etc. from the desktop if desired.

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@kalthorN8 @keshavchan @soychotic FWIW, image of Mac Finder from 10 years ago. Default structure included dedicated folders for images, videos, downloads, etc. It was all there. Mac and Windows directory structures have been quite similar for a very long time.

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@kalthorN8 @keshavchan @soychotic So you weren't using Mac's Finder? It's virtually identical in appearance and function to the Windows directory (Explorer, yes?) and works the same way.

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@kalthorN8 @keshavchan @soychotic No folder structure on Mac? Seriously? I’ve seen Windows users whose screens were a mess of icons. Personal disorganisation is possible on any operating system :)

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@keshavchan @soychotic Plus those who started on Mac and became bilingual (e.g. Win in the office, Mac at home or for side hustle); and similarly those who started on Windows and became bilingual.

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@f4z6nxjqvx @soychotic I started on a Mac (1980s) and became “bilingual” on entering the workforce (late 1990s, initially a DOS-based system then Windows). In most places I’ve worked I’ve been an unofficial IT help.

@GrammarTable Not to be confused with Titivillus, the Printer's Devil. said to introduce errors into the work of scribes…

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@dcbyron @GrammarTable There used to be an organisation called The Orchestras of Australia Network. The acronym TOAN ("tone") was key.

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@s_mark58760 @GrammarTable I'd look further and see how the Council uses it in a comparable context, i.e. body copy, not just in lists/headings/logo/letterhead. And going by their website, it appears they use lower case "the" in body copy. (Not that websites are always fully checked for style.)

[Yvonne Frindle 🌻 💛💙🎶🖋👩‍🎨👩🏼‍💻🩰🐈‍⬛🇦🇺🐘 @frindley]

@GrammarTable I'm guessing that in most cases it's an in-house style guide
