Sorry, but the way in which you replied to that guy pissed me off a little.

His alternate definitions as you said, have nothing to do with what we are talking about.
They are not music related, they have to do with soldiers marching, running and shouting.

To make my point, here is a "cadence"

I was born with an M-16,

my momma didn't want me to be a marine.

the years went by, and was jumping out the sky.

aint going quit till I die.

one year of war is nothing to me.

cause im really mean, and a fighitng marine.

I shot my first rifle in 93'

born and raised to be a marine infantry.

Now you tell me, how that cadence is gonna help you make a chord progression, or establish a key center, or resolution?
