Our british friends did that because, as Mark Twane put it, we're two
cultures divided by a common language.

Steve,
I thought it was hilarious. I've only seen this archaic nomenclature cited
in the Sibelius User Guide, which was produced in the UK. I suspect that our
Atlantic neighbors left them in there in case some musical theorists still
used them.
I tried brev and quavers on my Jazz Piano instructor years ago as part of
lyrics to a song, and he was mystified.

Hi all members of this list.
Before I receive emails of complaint regarding some previous posts.
I feel I must apologise for sending up how pompous English can be with the
long winded terminology used in music notation.
There are people who wouldn't have taken kindly to my, "One feels that one
must stress, that it is in fact Original English, British through and
through."
I also must apologise for my poor attempt at trying to be funny by hinting
that the long names are drop purely to simplify music for other Countries.
although my comments were meant purely has harmless fun, I've since reread
my emails and can see that they may of offended some people.
I hope most of you took my comments in the jovial context in which they were
meant.
I would never intentionally upset anyone on this list.
I see you not just as information sharing support, I think of you as
friends.
Would never intentionally offend my friends.
