The correct spelling of musical terminology IS an issue related to music and
clarinet playing. However, the plural of 'glissando' is a borderline case.

By the way, I've noticed a certain sloppyness in the spelling of composers'
names by Americans. (Yes, 'Messiaen' is correct.)

PS. I have to be careful in an English/American discussion about spelling
because I'm not a native speaker of English.
