Griphon, seriously man. The only person here that is on a ego trip is you. You contiously say that I'm giving misinformation but yet you never explain yourself and/or why you disagree. If I'm misinformed why don't you speak up with a good solid explaination. I'm waiting and listening...

Either give your side of the story or admit your wrong. Or do you choose Pride over truth?? You were clearly talking about chords when this disagreement began. Here's you quote:

Advance jazz or players understand the difference between the two chords implicitly. We understand the resolution of the tritone in both chords. The tedium is explaining German, French, and Italian Augmented 6 chords. PRAGMATICALLY, most of my ilk call them dominant or V7 chords. It's just easier.

I think you said chords 4 times. Clearly you are talking about chords, and that the dominant 7 and augmented 6 are the same chord. I clearly said that an Augmented 6 chord is NOT a dominant 7th chord. In your reply, you changed it to seem like you were talking about enharmonically spelling. As you can see here:

A raised 6 or augmented 6 or #6, IS a b7.

You clearly changed your statement to try to avoid the fact that you were wrong. I would call that pride. If I am mistaken then prove me wrong.

Here's the difference, as plain as day, between an Augmented 6 chord and a Dominant 7 chord. I'll use C as the root.

Caug: C, E, G#
Caug6: C, E, G#, A
Cmaj: C, E, G
Cdom7: C, E, G, Bb

You can clearly see they are not the same, enharmonically or rearranged in any way. Explain to me how this is wrong, instead of trying to make me look like the bad guy. Please.
