FUCK YOU!!!

FUCK YOU!!!
The plural of vinyl is Vinyls!!!
Just because when someone says vinyl records the vinyl does have an S doesn’t mean that’s the plural form. In the phrase vinyl records, the word vinyl is an adjective describing the format the record is on just like Shellac records, vinyl records, or cassette tapes. In the example of cassette tapes cassette is an adjective. Describing the kind of tape it is when tape is dropped and cassette becomes the noun associated with the format it becomes cassettes. Just as shellac records become shellac’s and vinyl becomes vinyls. When an adjective becomes a noun IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN ITS ADJECTIVAL PROPERTIES.

FUCK YOU, YOU HIPSTER GARBAGE THAT THINKS THE PLURAL OF VINYL IS VINYL JUST SO YOU CAN CORRECT OTHERS AND FEEL SUPERIOR!

Normal people call them records you faglord

Exactly but that’s my argument the vinyl or shallec adjectival prefix only describes the material/format. So if you drop the records part the adjective becomes the noun and will then function as such. It doesn’t maintain its adjectival properties.

Yeah but, my point is that it literally doesn't matter because only autistic people call them vinyl/vinyls in the real world.

Only hipster trash calls them vinyl!

>only autistic people would worry about this
Fixed that for ya

All of Sup Forums is autistic so this post is clearly relevant.

These are vinyls

fuck you also

Fuck you, you British cunt GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

Vinyls is grammatically correct.

fuck you also

You really showed me.

generally fuck you then

He says
>vinyl
To support his fragile ego.

>you have much vinyl
>I have several vinyl

If you think this is grammatically correct you must be an invalid or a hipster.

Not like there’s a difference but still.

>current year
>still using scratchings in plastic to record audio

>>scratchings in aluminum stamped into plastic.

Any hipster trash wanna try and argue this?

Sup Forums has proven me right.

Vinyl is a material

Exactly my point that’s why it’s ok to say you have a lot of vinyl because it refers to the material. If vinyl is used as a noun to describe the musical format it’s plural would be vinyls.

>listening to a bunch of 1's and 0's

This.

Vinyls.

Vinyl is a non-count noun, like justice or furniture. You can only get away with quantifying it if you're using jargon or referring to several different types of vinyl, not records. Regardless, vinyl is the medium and it'd make more sense to say records or LPs anyway. For instance, we don't call cassettes mylars, and we don't call CDs aluminum encased in plastic, and we don't call downloads 1s and 0s that create music. That said, you should be using proper English in this context and therefore pluralize vinyl as vinyl. Don't get angry if someone's correcting you, they're helping you out.

>he doesn't seek out the best mastering, regardless of format

Justice and furniture are abstract ideas that in them selves describe multiple things. They are non-count because of that. Vinyl is a straight forward object.

Cassette tapes vs Mylar is a terrible analogy.

So is a deer yet we call them deer. All the same too with a single fish yet many fish. A non-count is a non-count regardless of abstraction and unless "vinyls" is formally recognized as the true plural then it's at best non-standard English (also known as, avoid using it.)

How so? It's exactly the same as records and CDs in that mylar is the medium, yet we address it by cassette, the format.

I disagree. You’re argument is flawed because there are rules as to why deer is deer vs deers.

Deer is plural because it’s vowel is E and they are next to each other fish is plural because it ends with an SH.

CDs are short for compact discs
Vinyl records the term vinyl is an adjective
Cassette tapes the tape refers to the Mylar when the tape is dropped it becomes cassettes.
Seriously did you even read OP’s post?

Actually your example is the one with flaws, you imply that what I'm saying has no rule yet "vinyl" simply being a non-count or mass noun is itself a rule. The rule is vinyl is categorized as a non-count, and therefore cannot be quantified.

Revision
Plural of -sh is -shes rather it’s because the -sh follows the vowel i

Non count nowns are abstract deer and fish are exceptions because of the words structure.

Vinyl exists as an object (when it is used as a noun) with tangible individual units.

Yes I did, but you haven't refuted my argument. "Vinyl" may be an adjective but it's still the medium, and "tape" does not explicitly mean mylar. Logically it's the format that's generally relevant, not the medium.

So they should all be called records or tapes. I don’t disagree nor is that a refutation of my argument. I fail to see what’s to refute that I haven’t.
I am only saying that if vinyl is used as a noun to refer to individual records pressed in vinyl the plural inturn becomes vinyls.

my point is that it's stupid to call records "vinyls." Records aren't the only thing made out of polyvinyl chloride/acetate. PVC is one of the most common plastics in the world and is used in construction, among other things; PVA is fucking glue. Vinyl is the adjective describing the words "records." They're called "records" because you put the music you RECORD on them.
Not only are vinylfags retarded for using an archaic and costly system of listening to music, but they're also fucking up the dictionary too. Bravo faggots.

buy cds faggot

I don’t disagree you are just restating my argument.

The material is vinyl.
If the word vinyl is used in place of vinyl records the plural is vinyls. It seem we are in agreement I agree that if it’s referring to the material it’s vinyl.

I'm anti-"calling anything that isn't the actual PVC/PVA resin 'vinyl' vinyl"

I do buy cds but I prefer vinyls.

Ok that’s your own personal issue one I personally don’t give a flying shit about.

I should only say PVC, not PVA, since PVC is the only thing we commonly refer to as vinyl. PVA is just glue and there's also PVF

I care since there's a few million hipster faggots running around calling shit "vinyl"

I only care about pvc at the moment are you implying we should call them PVC records?

I agree that’s why I believe they should be called vinyls in plural to help distinguish between the format and actual PVC. Admittedly it’s not my main concern, but it’s passed through my mind as another benefit.

And I agree fuck hipsters and their faggotry regarding vinyls being called vinyl.

The plural of PVC is PVC. It's a lot of PVC. Lots of PVC.

No, you can call them vinyl records. Did I not say that the common name for PVC is vinyl? "Vinyl records" will do, but "vinyl(s)" is nonsensical.

Im sorry this is an argument against hipsters not the scientific community. Please see your way out.

Yes the plural of PVC is PVC but if the term vinyl is used in place of vinyl records it’s plural because vinyls.

I never said they should not be called vinyl records all I’m saying is IF they are called vinyl in place of the whole it’s plural is vinyls. This is the word vinyl referring to the object rather than the material.

It's an argument for the English language. You can call them:
>vinyl, the material
"I have a lot of vinyl." Congrats, everybody who owns a house does too since vinyl is everywhere.
>vinyls, a made-up word
"I have a lot of vinyls." What does this even mean? Vinyl is the adjective in "vinyl records". If you had a bunch of wooden chairs, would you say, "I have a lot of woodens"? Probably not.
>records, the medium that stores music
"I have a lot of records." There's some lack of clarity here, but then you could ask, "What do you mean by 'records'?" and he/she could respond with, "Vinyl records," which solves the problem.
I'm saying there shouldn't be an if and we should ridicule those who ignore it

I was going to commend you for presents a logical argument until this post... you can’t seem to comprehend my argument it’s become cyclical.
If you’re referring to PVC, PVA, or PVF you should regard it as such. If people are talking about records which I agree is a more accurate term and refer to them as VINYL as in a separate object from PVC, PVA, and/or PVF it’s plural would be VINYLS.

No, because vinyl is an adjective.

Yes but when it’s used as a noun...

Adjectives used as nouns is common place in all languages.

>vinyl record
Enlighten me on which part of this phrase is the noun

>record is a noun
>vinyl is an adjective
It is commonplace in all languages to modify adjectives to be used as nouns.
Explain to me why the word vinyl is on a pedestal and can’t be used in this way. PVC Is a noun anyways it’s a chemical compound.

Vinyl IS a noun. It is the common name for polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is a material, a plastic.
The pipes that transport water and waste in whatever building you're currently in are probably made out of PVC, or vinyl. Vinyl pipes. Vinyl acts as an adjective in "vinyl pipe." Vinyl acts as an adjective in "vinyl record." If I say, "I have a lot of vinyls," am I talking about pipes or records?

I don’t see why not
