4. Saying "tremolo" when you mean "vibrato."

I mean, Leo Fender even got these two mixed up. In fact, he's probably a major reason for it. And if the rate is fast enough, it's pretty hard to tell. I'm honestly way more offended by mixing up phaser and flanger.

I'm unsure if either one of you are talking about the effect or 'whammy bars'.

Effect confession: I recently figured out that what I thought I was looking for out of a phaser for many years was probably actually a Uni-Vibe.

I think the original poster meant strictly effect. But I added to that Leo calling the onboard tremolo Vibrato and calling a whammy bar tremolo when it is actually bending pitch, not volume.

Also, Univibe is a specific variation of a 4-stage phaser. Don't beat yourself up on that one.

Regular (i.e. initials) or Russian-style? (i.e. tradcon, radfem, polisci etc.)

Initials. For example DHS means Department of Homeland Security AND Department of Human Services - both very different things. I'm okay with acronyms when their first usage in a meeting or writing isn't abbreviated and then shortened to refer to what you were already talking about. Without that it relies on assumptions.

Seesaw drivers. Pick a speed and hold it. I literally mastered that my first week behind the wheel.

When I hear a reggaeton beat, I turn off.

I am specifically talking about vibrato equipment on guitars. Guitar players use vibrato all the time when it's on the fretboard and intuitively understand that it's a form of bending, so there's no excuse for not knowing what it is when a hinge is doing the bending. Whenever someone calls it a tremolo I want to punch them in the fucking teeth.

I hear it used that way a lot but yeah get your point too. Technically a guitar's 'tremolo' would be turning your volume knob up and down quickly.

Again, blame Fender. They still call it a Tremolo. And because they did/do, other manufacturers did/do too. I'm not saying it's right, but it's hard to expect people to get it right when the manufacturers still aren't.

Maybe I'll start saying "tremolo (sic)" out loud.
