Mick Davies Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would hate it when people called my motorcycle a bike. It has a big motor in it goes real fast. It's a motorcycle. That's just me, though. You're not alone, although I'm okay with "motorbike". I also prefer the term "motorcyclist". I'm certainly not a "biker".

danmixersf Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I managed to get through a 30 year career using mics, mic'ing things I needed to record, and occasionally telling people who needed to know how I'd mic'd those things. One of my favorite boom operators is named Mike. One of my Rycote windjammers was named Natasha. I've never owned a BMW, and I'm pretty sure "micking" would mean acting like an Irish person, unless you were at a Stones concert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Pert Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Wow never thought this would be so controversial a topic. I slaughter grammer and spelling all if the time on the forum, especially when I'm typing away on my phone. Obviously it doesn't really matter either way since everyone knows what you mean either way. Just wondered if anyone else preferred miking as opposed to micing. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Pert Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 And thanks to jay rose for the backup! I own all of your books and appreciate you weighing in. Obviously this is all semantics but we are on a forum and I was extremely bored when I created this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Pert Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 @atheisticmystic- I'm sorry, who are you again? How can you say i have a libidinal economy when you don't know me or my intentions? Easy to throw insults around when you don't have a name on here. I'm not trying to be a smarty pants just trying to have a discussion on a discussion group. Please introduce yourself I'd love to meet you!

atheisticmystic Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hey Brandon, No insult intended, my apologies if that was how you read it. As for libidinal economies, we all have them, and they're not dirty or a shortcoming. I re-read your OP, and my response, and I was responding to your invitation brother. You asked if you were being too nit-picky, and you stated that you hoped your clarification helped some of us here. I gave my honest response that, from reading your post, you seemed more invested in sharing what you thought you knew. As far as me having a "name here".....WTF?

Brandon Pert Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 @atheisticmyatic- Apology not necessary sorry for the misunderstanding. I probably am a bit nit picky and a libidinal economy isn't such a bad thing - you are right. I apologize your name doesn't show up on my phone. Re-readings post I kind of came off as an ass. I'm not, and I'm gonna blame low blood sugar on that. I might have been interested in sharing what I thought I knew seeking confirmation. I got that confirmation which was nice. Sorry for misunderstanding your tone I have enjoyed some of your other posts. I still don't know your name but I'm sure I'll see it later when im on a computer.

atheisticmystic Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Brandon, My attitude does comes across as snarky at times; I know that about myself (my own psychical exchange has it's problem areas). I'm glad we got through it in the end, and look forward to future misunderstandings with respectful resolutions !
