One of the questions, how much would you spend on the arm, cartridge, or base?
There was a time when everyone but everyone knew it was a record player. Some people called them changers. Or if it played one at a time then it was a fully auto record player. The best of these, semi-auto, would only raise the arm at the end.
Best of all of course were the manual turntables. The manual turntable does nothing but turn the platter. Over time the word manual was dropped so that today we call them turntables.
At no point in this 100 year history did anyone anywhere ever call the turntable "base". Except I guess today, where it seems the more education you get, the less you know. I answered the questions and know you will get a good grade.
Because: grade inflation.
But hey, don't feel bad. I once saw WSU Nutrition Grad Students showcase their talents with an authentic "Greek Cuisine" menu at our major hospital cafeteria.
Uh, your giro, no lamb? "People don't like lamb."
Not a one of them even knew the first thing about "cuisine" Greek or otherwise.
Because: the more they teach, the less you know.
