One of the main things here is that - I think that with enough thinking for everybody here --- they will eventually come to understand that the interval associated with C# and E-flat is absolutely not a type of third in our major/minor scale system.
It is not any sort of third in our major/minor scale system. That is what I'm saying all along.
Hi Southpark
No, everyone else has just given up trying to explain it to you.

Simonb That's the thing ... you must demonstrate with the popular major/minor system only - that a diminished third interval is third degree .... with either the major or minor system only.
Go ahead and show how a dim 3 interval is third degree in our popular major/minor scale system.
And no ... you're not allowed to go outside the boundaries ... such as to introduce another scale system that isn't our major/minor scale system ... such as a minor version of our minor scale system.
If all of you cannot show it (third degree) ... then you will know that I'm right ... and you folks ... or the ones that are disagreeing ..... are wrong.
And I did mention it ... it's ok to be wrong. You will just learn from this.
I'm not going to give anyone the 'third degree' if they didn't understand or realise that a dim 3 interval is not a type of third in our major/minor system.
I've never heard of a "major / minor system", popular or otherwise.
There is no reason why a dim 3 interval should be any kind of degree. Apples and oranges. Something is being mixed up here.
keystring That ..... is where you are not understanding intervals KS. You and various others here thought after all this time that your assumption that a dim3 interval is a type of third is correct .... actually you guys didn't even realise or suspect anything to begin with about this.
It is not a type of third. In order to understand, you will need to do some more reading and study and hard yards.
