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

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

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

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

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

"grecian"

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

"possum

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.

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.

Nope. Not a liberal at all.


"Grecian" is another name for a "greek".

No, it isn't. "grecian" is an adjective, ONLY; it is
not a noun, and it NEVER refers to persons, only
things, e.g. "Ode to a Grecian Urn", a famous poem by
John Keats, a famous poet that a dumb hillbilly
possum-****er like you has never read because you
didn't make it past 5th grade before you had to start
farming to support the chillun you and your sister created.

Go get a dictionary.

I'm sorry to have to tell you, but you don't know how
to use a dictionary.

No, that's false; in modern times, inhabitants of

Get that through your redneck possum-****er's skull.

I'll bet you think modern inhabitants of Israel are

Let's not forget the classic: Hispanical

Did he really say that? When and where? I don't
object to beating up on the guy for his boneheaded
utterances, but make sure they're real. The only

were on satirical pages.


LOL. Your internet searches

"Greek" may also be an adjective: the Greek language,

modern usage by people who know better, is *only* an
adjective, never a noun.

Well, "Grecian" may be used as a noun, but such use is archaic, and
certainly nothing a numnutz such as Bush would know. If he used
"Grecian" to describe Greeks, it was yet another gaffe on his part.

Correct.


To pretend otherwise on Bush's behalf is simply evidence of desperation,

Correct.

a defensive move aimed at convincing someone - anyone - that Bush really
has a command of the English language.

I vote Libertarian as a matter of principle, because
the Republicans and Democrats are both parties of big,
intrusive, profligate government. If that choice were
not available to me, I would vote for Bush over Kerry
in this election, just because the Democrats can't be
trusted, ever. I live in California, and the state
practically fell apart under a Democrat governor and
drunken-sailor Democrat legislature. I HATE both big
parties, but if that's the effective choice, the
Republicans must prevail in order for common sense to
prevail, and I would hold my nose and vote for the
****witted moron Bush if I had to.
