They Laugh Like Horses, this is Insufferable!

When staging a play in front of almost the whole school make sure your micro is turned off before bitching about the people in the first row.

    Micro? It’s either a mic or a microphone, not a micro.

    • ClariPossum says:

      And you’re the authority on how words are to be abbreviated? I imagine “micro” might be specifically referring to a small microphone that you wear on your clothes, do differentiate it from a regular one.

      • ClariPossum says:

        Or hey, it might even be a regional thing. You never know.

        • RealDealSally says:

          I’ve plenty of friends in the performing arts businesses, and none of them have ever called it a “micro”. It’s called a “mike” or a “microphone”.

          Go ahead, use new terms nobody else does, it’s fine. Just don’t expect people to understand what you mean or not point out when you’re wrong.

          • TheBlindFreak says:

            Yeah, I was about to say that. I have done some work in the sound and lighting area and it is never called a micro.

            • ClariPossum says:

              Well hey, it still could be a regional thing. Just because it’s a little different doesn’t make it necessarily INCORRECT. We all knew what OP meant anyway. “Mic” or “mike” is slang anyway.

        Actually BKS is the authority for word abbreviations, maybe if you would get out of your mother’s basement and stop playing Skyrim for 5 minutes you would know that!

    First world problems. Hell, 21st century problems. When I was a kid we couldn’t afford mikes for school plays. We had to learn how to PROJECT, dammit!
