......the modern
inhabitants of Greece are referred to, in English as
Greeks. ONLY as Greeks. Period. Full stop. The end.

'Grecian' is ONLY an adjective, never a noun.


Ahhhhh. Another dumb**** liberal to enter the fray. You seem quite

dumber than the rest...except, perhaps for basskisser. Perhaps you

related?

"Grecian" is another name for a "greek". Go get a dictionary.
Maybe

one


of



the smarter liberals could read it to you.





Hmm. Another dumb **** who was left back 3 times in 9th grade, AND

missed


the GEDs. Grecian is an adjective. Greek is a noun.




Well, "Grecian" may be used as a noun


Uh-oh...your mentor doesn't agree with you, Doug. See what happens
when

you

follow the stupid likes of ****tard and basskisser?




...but no one really uses it as one. And Bush's use of it was out of
ignorance, not out of knowledge of language or nuance of usage.


Bush frequently quotes from the bible...sometimes to a fault. The King
James version of the Bible uses the term "Grecian" to describe people of
Greece, so it's logical to conclude that Bush picked up the word
"Grecian"
from the bible.



Oh, puh-lease....STOP making these lame excuses for the stunatz in the
White house, eh? You're smarter than he is, and that's not much of a
compliment!

Bush has no language abilities. If he used Grecian, it was out of
ignorance. Period.


I'm no longer arguing that Bush used the term properly. However, to imply
that it's a "made up" word, or that it's only an adjective and not a noun,
is wrong.

I still stand my reasoning that the word was in his head from his Bible
studies...and not from "a Discovery Channel program about archeologists
digging up Grecian urns". In the Bible, it is used as a noun to describe
inhabitants of Greece.
