Actually, archeologists use "Grecian" to refer to urns and stone

columns.

NOYB does not expose himself to input other than television, and a

very

limited selection of input in that genre. He would not know that

"grecian"

applies to objects, not people. Therefore, your appelation of

"possum

****er" sticks like glue.


Doug,
You're not really going to align yourself with perhaps the dumbest

poster

to

post to rec.boats since...well...ummm, maybe...ever? Are you?

An inhabitant of Greece can be called a "Grecian" or a "Greek".

Yes, and a psychiatrist trained in hypnotism could conceivably be called

a

somnambulist, but the word's not in common usage any more. Neither is
"Grecian" commonly used to refer to people, just objects. The dictionary

is

full of words you *could* use. It's up to individual to know which ones

are

appropriate to use.


You're turning into basskisser. Even when confronted by facts which
blatantly refute your position, you continue to argue to the bitter end.
It's almost laughable.

Grecian is an acceptable word to describe someone from Greece. If you
maintain that that's not true, then prove it. Your unsupported opinion
means nothing.





I said "common usage", knucklehead. If your president said "Grecian", it's
because he'd just watched a Discovery Channel program about archeologists
digging up Grecian urns. Nobody on the planet describes Greeks as Grecians.
Not even Greeks themselves, although you probably don't have many Greeks in
that white bread town of yours.




There are plenty of Greeks on the west coast of florida in the tarpon
springs area. If you described them as "Grecian-Americans," they'd be
giggling at you for days.

This is just the latest attempt of the righties to try to convince
anyone that Bush is adept. He ain't.
