Actually Doug you missed the point (not surprising). It was previously
asserted that the word was not a noun. It certainly is and is still
used
today when referencing the ancient Greek people.


Address the point, dummy: Bush was NOT referencing the "ancient" Greek
people when he STUPIDLY said "Grecians".




This must be something new, Dennis, because when I studied the classics
in college, no one used the word "Grecian" as a noun in reference to the
people of historic Greece. No one. Greco-Roman. Grecian urn. Grecian
culture. People of Greece. Greeks.



Not my problem. Next time pick a better college.


Tell us the name of a university or college in which students are taught
to refer to contemporary inhabitants of Greece as "Grecians".


DumFoch U, where Dennis matriculated. It wasn't taught at the Ivy League
college I attended and earned my M.A.
