the GEDs. Grecian is an adjective. Greek is a noun.


"Greek" may also be an adjective: the Greek language,
a Greek restaurant, Greek culture. "Grecian", in
modern usage by people who know better, is *only* an
adjective, never a noun.


Horse****.


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



You keep believing that


I shall, because it's true. You should accept it, too, but because
you're a troglodyte, you won't. Your loss, furry one.



As someone who "wasted" six years of his life getting a "classical"
university education (B.A. and M.A.), I can state that I have not
encountered the word "Grecian" in modern usage as a noun. Once again,
if Bush used it as a noun, it was out of ignorance.

"Grecian" as a noun was in use by some until about the middle of the
19th century, but usage faded significantly after that.

No one other than Dubya Dumb refers to modern-day Greeks as Grecians,
and he only does that out of ignornace. Remember that while an undergrad
at Yale, Bush majored in what served as that college's fraternity
life...drinking, snorting coke, chasing skirts and generally avoiding
academia.

You are correct.

"faded"? How about "disappeared"?

You're probably wrong on that, but it's safe to say no
EDUCATED and aware person refers to modern-day Greeks
as "Grecians".
