As far as the issue with terminology goes- don't worry about it, I completely understand what you mean. I have written for both, but the majority of my work is atonal. I strongly disagree with the arguement that atonality is incapable of expreesing human emotion, Through atonality, I feel as though I am personally more successful in portraying the emotional concept of a piece. Tonality is a clearer and more defined, but human emotion isn't always black and white. Feelings meander and stray without a definate center. Or maybe I'm just entirely insane. haha Nice post.
