Shush rob, don't turn this into an argument about rhetoric and semantics! I mean jesus, nevermind how correct you are, let's not talk about TERMINOLOGY!!!! Anything but THAT, RIGHT GUYS?

Oh no, not this guy again. :<
And FYI, all the diatonic scales I know are not well-formed at all! They're all uneven and scraggy, I wonder if we're talking about the same "diatonic scales!" Cuz golly gee that sure would be funny if there was a problem with the usage of our terminology!
But that can't happen! Not on the internet!
Much less on THIS forum. No sir.
