I have also noticed that many people refer to the PTG Annual Convention as 
"the National".  When I pointed out in a private post to one person that it 
made him sound like a "good ol' boy redneck" and that it was potentially 
offensive to all of the PTG Members who are not US citizens, he became 
defensive about it, calling my massage a diatribe and saying that it was 
properly called "the National" because it was something created by *our* 
nation.  Oh puhlease! 

Why not just call it what it is rather than always trying to come up with 
some kind of jargon for it?  Indeed, a Canadian technician asked me once at 
the PTG Annual Convention which, incidentally was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 
that year why "American Piano Technicians *always* use *slang* to describe 
*everything*?"

Personally, I avoid it.
