Reading comprehension - solves a lot of problems.
So you just wrote those two lines as . . . a typing exercise?

You may be surprised, but it has not gone out.
Without being too picky, the term is Gregorian Chant. So, it might be good if you try and get the correct terms before you try to be witty.

It was an explanation to the person who posted above what i posted.
I am beginning to see why the mods have an issue with you. They are probably right.

And the plural of Gregorian Chant is Gregorian Chants. Might be helpful if you learned the English language, it is your native tongue, is it not?

Yes. And, you show your lack of knowledge of our language by what you said.
There is only ONE Gregorian Chant, which is a class of Chant.
I must say that I would not criticise your use of you own language, as i am sure you coulkd return the favour I have done you, as you will know your OWN tongue.

Gaudete, gaudete! Christus est natus, ex Maria virgine, gaudete!
I was thinking more along the lines of:
Pie Iesu domine, dona eis requiem.
Fun fact: Pie Jesu and Gaudete are the only 2 songs sung fully in Latin to have made the top 50 in the British charts.

OK, I looked it up, the individual melodies are sometimes called chants.
So, in that way, you are correct.

There are many Gregorian Chants.
Let me educate you, o ignorant one:
http://www.learnersdictionary.com/definition/Gregorian%20chant
"Gregorian chants were organized initially into four, then eight, and finally 12 modes. Typical melodic features include a characteristic ambitus, and also characteristic intervallic patterns relative to a referential mode final, incipits and cadences, the use of reciting tones at a particular distance from the final, around which the other notes of the melody revolve, and a vocabulary of musical motifs woven together through a process called centonization to create families of related chants. The scale patterns are organized against a background pattern formed of conjunct and disjunct tetrachords, producing a larger pitch system called the gamut. The chants can be sung by using six-note patterns called hexachords. Gregorian melodies are traditionally written using neumes, an early form of musical notation from which the modern four-line and five-line staff developed.[1] Multi-voice elaborations of Gregorian chant, known as organum, were an early stage in the development of Western polyphony."
See the Gregorian CHANTS with an "s". Gregorian Chant is a style, there are many CHANTS.
Please do educate yourself, you look foolish.

Heh, heh, heh. I wonder if Pie Jesu is there because of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (which is where I remember it from and I was raised old school Catholic).

Nice Bellerophontis, but 'The Boxer' retains its place as my favourite Simon & Garfunkel tune.

Not the first time.
But, I think you get my point. The Term Chant means a Class of song (a style as you point out), AND and individual meaning.
But, thanks to Bellerophontis and Strangemover, some folk are now aware of the ancient and beautiful Liturgy, which I attend every Sunday.

Pie Jesu charted in the mid 80's after appearing in Andrew Lloyd Webber's classical selection 'Requiem'. Performed by Sarah Brightman and a guy whose name escapes me.

The moderators must be breathing a sigh of relief, as the pressure has gone off them a bit.

And how is that an improvement? Just because you put a "2.0" in the front of it?
New technology is only an improvement if utilized in the proper context. Otherwise, you get new bugs, new spam, and dysfunctional results.
@Bellero & LawD - you're making me blush guys. Thank you for the kind words.
I too agree with your general thrust. But please make it more concise.
And that creepy video on your home page leaves me flat. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 
P.S. in V3 why is a simple "Laughing Face" impossible to locate inside the "smiley icon?"
V3 and Gregorian Chants indeed are joined at the hip. End of Story.

Hey, thanks. I learned something new today! Now if I can learn something new about chess every day I might improve.

A few folk have issues with Apacebux. Stet. But, his failure to worship at the Temple Of Tech is not one I have with him.

Spacebux I remember a time some years back where there were moderators like Concretejeans and ColdHands, they were merciless, especially when ColdHands was a bit drunk. It almost seems easy now.
I am not saying I disagree with you, I am just saying it has been worse.
May I also suggest a gym membership and and a course on Olympic Lifting ?
I somehow just know you will greatly benefit from some time away from a screen.
All the best
