I added "commonly" to the comment about the acute angle of a pick being the one used to pluck a string. Many guitarists, even professional ones, use the rounder corners of a pick to play. -- goatasaur
Should guitar pick be integrated into this article, or is there enough of a distinction for it to warrant its own? -- Lypheklub 08:07, Aug 30, 2003 (UTC)
- Perhaps. The idiosyncracies of the various kinds of guitar plectra suggest to me it should stay where it is... Dysprosia 08:09, 30 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Having read the article, I am still at a loss as to why the guitarist would wear a plectrum. A-giau 07:21, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Plectrums
Am I the only one who calls them "plectrums"? 66.92.237.111 03:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
- (update: There are 225,000 Google hits for "plectrums", and only 76,000 for "plectra", so I guess not. Perhaps the article ought to mention it as an alternative plural?) 66.92.237.111 03:50, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

- I gave this a try, taking the (hopefully non-POV) line that speakers should tune their choice to the context. Opus33 18:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Its the whole dice vs die thing Its "wrong" to call them plectrums, but 90% of people do.
