When I talk to Tango people, I'll just say 'Tango'. If I talk to non-tango 
people I'll say 'Argentine Tango' to avoid confusion - they may think 
I'm talking about Ballroom Tango or American Tango.

But I sincerely hope that, one day, the whole world will understand that 
'Tango' means Argentine Tango..

Just as everyone understands that the 'The Open' means the British Open 
and 'The Derby' means the Ascot Derby and 'Football' means soccer ;-)
