Sonar tuition. Midlands, UK.

If anyone needs one to one tuition on Sonar, pm me. Midlands, UK. 
Can travel around the midlands.

Not if you live in the UK, Bob

Can't you English even use the right word in your native language?

;-) for those w/ no sense of humor, or is that humour?

The OP is not incorrect in his usage of the word tuition. We here in the US associate it with the fee paid for teaching. It does have both meanings though. 

Bob was not finding fault but he was expressing my own confusion in how it was used. 

Sense of humour, what is that? Heck my spell check isn't liking that word what ever it means.

Here in the US we would use the word tutoring in the same way the OP uses tuition. Which is more correct? Neither, both.

I have no clue if this is close to you, but here is a thread from someone looking for Sonar assistance privately in the London area:

I know I like to use my intuition to learn new things. ;-)

Well, according to Dictionary.com:

tu·i·tion  [too-ish-uh n, tyoo-]  
noun
1.  The charge or fee for instruction, as at a private school or a college or university: 

2.  Teaching or instruction, as of pupils: a school offering private tuition in languages.

3.  Archaic. guardianship or custody.


So, was the OP offering guardianship? :)

Bob Bone

sorry Bob but you didn't seem to read point 2 of the very definition you provided. There it clearly states that the OP's use of the term 'tuition' was correct.
i.e. "If anyone needs one to one tuition (teaching or instruction) on Sonar,".....
If he was incorrect in anything it would be in the use of 'on SONAR ' instead of in SONAR. The latter being more correct.

As a native NYer who had the pleasure of living & working in the UK for many years, I often found myself in the same situation of words having multiple or different meanings across the pond. 

I'm still not quite sure I understand how 'bollocks" (b*lls) is a negative term, while the "dog's bollocks" (dog's b*lls) is good!

The "dog's bo!!*x" has the same origin as the phrase "bog standard".  They were derived from "Box Standard" and "Box Deluxe", two versions of a product.  I can't for the life of me remember what the product was.  Meccano or some such.  Old age has destroyed my memory.

'The dog's bollocks' is a derivation of 'the cat's whiskers'


You could also use 'the mutt's nuts'

Remember, the English invented English and American's f*cked it all up. This is fact! Not taking sides but I lived in America for 20 years and its true. Americans think they are the only people on the planet and what they say goes... Hahahaha, you should hear how the rest of the world talks about America, its classic! Depends on what colour you're talking about when your talking about sense of humour... this could be my favourite post right now!!!! Why you people always feel the need to rip people when they ask a simple question, always have to over analyze and find fault in everything people say rather than just help them or not say something at all...

Uhh........ WOW!
No one was ripping on anyone. Just joking around a bit.
I realize that attitude and personality can be difficult to interpret on written forums and text.
It couldn't hurt to lighten up just a tad and try not to take things here not so literal.


I'm not bashing or looking to jump down your throat and I'm truly sorry if I come across that way. I just feel that maybe you read something here in a different light than what was intended.
Peace my fellow music lover.

If he is then I apologize.
And it goes to prove my point that "attitude and personality can be difficult to interpret on written forums and text."


Not the first or last time I've played the fool.
Like my dad always said.
No sense in being a fool unless you can prove it.

There are plenty of words that get used such as "irregardless". There is no such word. Its regardless. There are phrases that are said correctly but make no sense. "quite a few" has always baffled me but it means "a lot".  It should mean very small amount. Yet it doesn't. Oh well. English a language that is misunderstood by its own speakers. Or is it? I guess you have to be there.   

Sharke I think you have it right with the phrase "couldn't care less". Sometimes people repeat what they may think is said and get it wrong.
