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,

I think you mean "mesmerist".

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

Any more, "Grecian" isn't used AT ALL to refer to Greeks.

The dictionary is
full of words you *could* use. It's up to individual to know which ones are
appropriate to use.

That's the sort of subtlety ****wits like NOYB never
can figure out.

Just another example of the righties rationalizing and apologizing for
Bush's endless gaffes...


You're not going to jump on the sinking ship driven by Kanter and ****tard,
are you? Grecian is an acceptable name used to describe the inhabitants of
Greece.

No, it isn't, ****wit. You've already conceded it isn't.

It's almost laughable.

Grecian is an acceptable word to describe someone from Greece.

No, it isn't. You've conceded the point already.

Now, it's time for you also to concede that Bush is a
moron for not knowing that the inhabitants of Greece
are Greeks, not "Grecians".

Correct? You said it's "an adjective, not a noun, period". Remember
that,
****tard?

Lighten up, Noyb! He said he comes from California -- cut him some slack!

He also said he votes Libertarian as a matter of principle, which is not a
bad thing. I just wonder if he's employing his brilliant vocabulary and
writing style in an effort to attract supporters.

Nope. In modern usage, "grecian" is never a noun.

OK. "It, you stupid ****".

Interesting style he's got. Note the increasing use of personal insult and
the all caps mode for emphasis. Could it be that he is actually emulating
basskisser? Who'da thunk it?

Nobody gives any credence to what the CIA has to say anymore.

Except when it provides for President Fratboy's
preconceived notion to invade the country that

The key word in my sentence was "anymore". Didn't you notice Tenet's and
the other high level resignations recently?




Say it, ****wit: the contemporary inhabitants of
Greece are Greeks, NEVER "Grecians". Say it, you
stupid ****.



OK. "It, you stupid ****".

That passes for humor down in Possum-****er Holler, eh?

Actually Doug you missed the point (not surprising). It was previously

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.

I'm pretty sure there's a link.
