Don't forget DURING the 2000 campaign, Bush once
referred to the inhabitants of Greece as the "Grecians".



grecian

\Gre"cian\, n. 1. A native or naturalized inhabitant of Greece; a

Greek.



What's your point?


I don't know what bonehead, post-2000, hillbilly
dictionary you found that in, but 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.

Got it, possum-****er?


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".

Read:
Gre·cian (grshn)
adj.
Greek.

n.
A native or inhabitant of Greece.
