Shabbat shalom, everyone. This has been an issue for me in the past, and it still bugs me: reading music. I grew up in church, my father being a Baptist minister and my mother being a pianist/organist in our church, and I grew up with the old hymnals in the pockets of the pews ahead of you. Today, we have migrated to projectors on screens with worship leaders and worship teams. I've noticed, however, that this is leading to musical illiteracy! At least in the hymnals and song books of old, we had the notes written on staffs in measures marked with timing. We don't have that anymore in most churches to which I have gone over the last twenty years or so. Even as a child, I could tell from the notes on top when to go up or down in pitch when singing the melody! Now, what do we have? My mother was also an English major, and I grew up with her constant corrections in my grammar (some of which, quite frankly, NEVER took hold completely). I know and understand that living languages change, but there are REASONS for the punctuation that we use! There are good reasons for commas and their uses! Even the apostrophe is being lost in our modern, texting generation! One might see, "Johns cat" instead of "John's cat," being commonly written! This seems like a VERY big deal to me, because how do we know if someone is meaning to say "its glory" (the possessive form) or "it's glory" (meaning "it is glory")? Maybe I'm overreacting, but I don't think so. What do you think? Any opinions?
