Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A486074, look up the Low Whistle entry 
If that didnât suffice see http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A301852 lookup Modern Times entry about the flageolet vs. recorder 
This BBC site pretends to be The Guide To Life, the Universe and Everything. Unfortunately. maybe, if it was written by the Depressed Misanthropic humanoid (is it Marvin ?), and edited by the Wedgeworth teapot-making coffee machine.
Itâs below the level expected even from the infamous Encyclopaedia Galactica, let alone a Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy.
I expected better from 21st century BBC than this piece of Encyc-limey-dia Anglicana.
Interesting site. I see they got the origin of the term âUilleann Pipesâ right.
Fromt the Bodhran entry:
The quality of an Irish traditional group is in inverse proportion to the number of bodhrĂĄn players it has.
Heh 
Whoa, I didnât know math was a required subject here!!!

From which BBC readers should conclude that the best Irish group is one with no bodhran at all. Proves anyone can progress. PassĂ© attitudes would have adviced suppressing any Irishman, after finding out banning pipes wasnât enough

Don(t know how it happens, but I find myself stuttering.
Like double postings, double threads and double replies.

The âpolitically correctâ term is linguistically challenged.
Never mindâŠstuttering is a good term.

The term, âpolitically correctâ, should be forever banished from our vocabulary!!!

Of course it should. Itâs as if that term implies that correct politics is only that of those who dance around every word in the language, and are constantly playing games, and reinventing things.

All I tried was apologizing for a doubled thread 
Now, I certainly wouldnât dare challenge you linguistically, since English is a foreign language to me and American even more. However⊠semantically, I donât see how one can change a mere descriptive term (stuttering) into what I reckonâbeing âkorrektâ or âproperââto be a mere label with all the limits of the genre.

I was only joking. What you said was fine.
