twocats Nope ... the point is ... I pointed out that the guy in the vid incorrectly wrote and said that the interval is a third. It is not a third obviously. And diretonic wrote that the source is correct. And the source and diretonic and tc3 are all incorrect.
On the contrary. It's you that didn't understand the situation, and then decided to conjure up something about me not knowing theory.
I see what's happening now. You failed to understand that the discussion was actually about the mistake the guy made ... where he mistakenly told people that the interval is still a third. And indeed it is not a third.
It's actually possible that you don't understand that a diminished third is not a third of any kind in the scale system we're using ... the major/minor scale. That is ... you're the one that doesn't understand something here. And yet, you're firing disrespectful shots when it's you that hasn't even understood the situation ... not a good habit.
I will write this ... if you diminish a third ... then the result of that operation requires a name ... such as 'diminished third'. It's no longer a third at all. The name 'diminished third' does not mean it is still a third of 'some' or any kind.
I will also write ... those geniuses that make up the theory reckon that the diminished third is an operation on a minor third. Specifically the operation reduces a minor third interval by one semitone. Equivalently .... it probably could also be considered as reducing a major third interval by two semitones.
