English Usage - Classic, Classical - English editing.

Traditionally, classic means either ‘outstanding’, as in a classic novel, or ‘very typical and representative of its kind’, as in a classic little black dress, a classic example, Classical generally means ‘relating to Greek or Roman antiquity’ or ‘relating to serious or conventional music’: the museum was built in the classical style; he plays jazz as well as classical violin. Often classical is mistakenly used when classic is more appropriate: a classical example would be one taken from Greek or Latin whereas a classic example is the most typical example of its kind.
