I didn't mean it as an attack on you, I just meant to convey how strongly incorrect some of your argument was. The reason I stress "being right all the time" is because music theory can seem very daunting to beginners, especially if they're getting two sets of answers to one question, and double especially when those answers have to work to discredit one another. Yes, F double sharp is enharmonic with G, but that isn't the reason I considered deleting it. You said "there's no such thing as an augmented second," which is simply not correct. Then you say that sus2 is an interval. Sus2 stands for "suspended second," it's not a different interval, it's merely the diatonic second of the root suspended over the chord. Sus2 does NOT necessarily mean a minor second.

Edit: thought of another example. Let's use the Ger6 chord in Aminor. F-A-C-D# C to D# is an augmented second.
