There's a famous rock band and their keyboard player is a neighbour of mine; tours with the band for 8 months a year; very successful for a thirty year career rock-band member.
Anyway I overheard another neighbour telling everyone that the rock fellow was "classically trained".
I said: "Classical training does not consist of taking a few piano lessons at Mrs. Smith's house down the street when you're 10 years old; it's a lifetime of training and taking exams to prove you can convincingly play classical music in the STYLE of classical music; historically."
It just kills me how people make up factoids that are not true and just convince eachother of it when NONE of them is in the field of training themselves.
Morning rant complete, as that is how it started for me.
