You remind me of an argument I had with a friend from another country. I said C is here and he insisted that what I pointed to is A. After a long while I thought of asking him how he knew to be so sure if he didn’t even grow up with this alphabet, he obviously didn’t call the notes by the ABC in the first place. He answered that he actually called it Do Re Mi. In other words, he took it for granted (reasonably enough) that Do is A. I’m actually not too sure why it isn’t.
Perhaps our system is designed be bass writers.
