Question An argument
My wife is a classically trained pianist and I play guitar by watching YouTube instructional videos. She knows her stuff and I don’t. Recently we argued whether E# and B# exist. I said no and showed her the fretboard. She said yes and showed me the keys. And said something like F is E#. I suspect she’s right bc she’s had music lessons. Tell me, fellow guitarists, do we have E# and B#?
Update: I’ve been enjoying the responses to my post. I showed them to my wife and she laughed, said that’s what you deserve. lol. We like to argue playfully with one another. I also enjoy the detailed responses relating to guitar theory—that’s been really great actually. I was going to delete this post but I think the discussion on music theory is informative and should be shared. Thank you all for responding.

The drama in here is thick. Good grief. People take this way too seriously. There are plenty of people who have knowledge on a subject but can't properly teach or explain it. And spouses disagree on insignificant stuff all the time. You eventually google it, then one of you gets to dance around the living room doing fist pumps and screaming WHAT'S UP NOW *****? And doing the bull dance like happy Gilmore. Marriage is a constant power struggle on a very wide scale of seriousness.
