Let's try this one last time. If you don't answer the question in a
fashion
judged to be sensible by me and perhaps DSK, we'll all interpret it to
mean
that you are finally admitting that you're wrong. Ready?

Please point out 10 examples of "Grecian" being used in the last 100
years
to describe Greeks. Poetry is not an option, nor are examples where
"Grecian" was used as an affectation. And, your president's example is
not
allowed in the list of 10. The correct examples would be news sources,
especially if one or more of them involved actual persons of Greek origin
discussing themselves or their culture.


Is that the new 'pass-fail' criteria now? If you and/or DSK don't approve,
then
no one in the group approves? I don't remember subscribing to that
philosophy!

Read it again, John. This exercise is NOT based on opinions. It is based on
simple numbers. NOYB will not find 10 examples of modern usage of the word
"Grecian". If somehow he does, we only need to count them, not judge them.
