N.E. Brigand Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks. Lots of quotes at your link showing "vocabulary" used that way; I do wish they had dates attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmello Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 I really wish Academy, Colts, and Mandarins were here today! Personally, it kinda seems like the top 12 is locked up... but I've been wrong before. However, people underestimate what 13th place can do for a rising corps! As someone from a 13th place corps, it can be truly motivating for the members and organization to get that close to a finals performance. Academy, Troopers, Colts and Mandarins are just all so solid and have been moving up and down in overall ranking and captions... I can't wait to see them all in one stadium with one full panel!

I agree with you that sometimes the terms are less helpful than they should be. In this case, someone decided that just because movement is a form of expression, and language is also a form of expression, that terms from the latter might be used for the former. This happened at some point since 1964, to judge from the unabridged Webster's Dictionary of that date I just pulled from my shelf, in which "vocabulary" is defined only with reference to language. Well, then they can call it movement communication. Vocabulary, as in "vocal", is oral (or written I suppose). It makes no sense in use with the word "movement." "Communication" can be verbal or nonverbal. So movement communication makes sense in a way movement vocabulary doesn't, because movement could be a form of nonverbal communication. I'm sorry I brought this up! Edited July 8, 2017 by HockeyDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoakes Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Back to the show: For any future reference, this Days Hotel is a little pricey for the quality. But it's right across from the stadium. I can hear percussion already. No messing with more driving and parking. Also: Why do people let their hotel room doors slam closed? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Looks like the weather is going to be picture perfect for the show! What year was it when the severe storm hit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper OED would, but I'm away from my campus network where I can access that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently for the same reason they let their kids stomp their feet on the floor, or let them run up and down the halls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't mean any of y'all people. I mean those OTHER people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
