RichardP Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 At least you are spelling it right, unlike some Heresy owners from this forum who have spelled it "Hersey" or even "Hershey" (mmm, chocolatey!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 While we're at it, I may as well point out a few pet peeves. The plural of Heresy (the speaker) is Heresys, NOT Heresy's (or Heresy I's, or II's...DON'T USE THE APOSTROPHE!) or Heresies. Alternately, one can use "Heresy Loudspeakers." Using those would be heresies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindman Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 It has three syllables. Break it up into three parts: her / e / sy Pronounce it: her - uh - see The first part is not pronounced like the word "here". The word "here" is only one syllable.

garymd Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Plural of Chorus: Would that be Choruses? Chori? Chorii? Chorus'? Chorus's? or just plain Chorus? BTW Bob Crites - Did you get my email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Gary, I don't seem to have an email from you. Sometimes the forum email doesn't seem to work right. Send to bobcrites@mac.com Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plural of Heresy (in regards to Klipsch) is Heresy Speakers The plural of Chorus is Chorus Speakers Fini would be correct, except we are talking about trademarked products. The trademarked word (Heresy / Chorus) remains unchanged, but the generic word (speaker) is made plural (speakers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Corvettes, two Ferraris sounds and looks fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to define what was actually correct, rather than what was common convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
