I know, Doc, I was just teasing earlier, though Zaz wasn't! ;-) Now based on Doc's understanding, one way to render the dictionary title in English would be: Dictionary of Modern Greek Usage on the model of Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage Although I typically enjoy Kathimerini's...

Coastal's fine with me, Neanderthal man. Just don't go postal on us, OK? Gee, thanks folks. I just saw your posts! 100 mph already? Uh-oh, I better slow down a little before I get a ticket.

Xρηστικό? Is that User's Dict'y of Modern Greek? Because at 4kg, that doesn't sound so "user friendly." Does it come with a stroller (καροτσάκι μωρού)? If not, I better buy a twin stroller soon: one for Babinyotis' & one Agademis'

Polit...icals? Uh yeah, what's election results got to do with politics? Hmm, got a point there, dude. Sharing and bonding? No way! I am NOT--repeat--I am NOT going to be sharing my weed with you, OK? Cuz then I'll have to be bonding you out of jail until weed is officially legal. And that...

2014 US midterm elections: Marijuana Legalization (measure 91) Driver's license (EU's ID Card equivalent) to illegal aliens (measure 88) This morning, I read 91 passed (in effect as of 2015), but 88 didn't. Find all yesterday's midterm elections results (2014) here Marijuana legalization. 1...

Oh yeah, in fact, an eminent American philosopher of our time, Arthur Schessinger Jr., wrote an excellent book on the subject titled The Disuniting of America. dis+unite an ancient word (1600s) raked up and popularized in recent years. Besides gay rights, other long-standing, hot-button issues...

Come off it, Zaz! Hyphens are gone from US English for years now, e.g., nondairy, nonfat, nondenominational, and so on. Except if the word following non starts with a capital letter, e.g., non-American. Keep going man, but at this rate you may wanna change your avatar from a seal to...a dino?

Hmm... you mean "water over the dam"? (US) Same difference, but judging from what you said, water's still flowing, adding insult to injury, and hurting the feelings of a person who has already been hurt. You're in my prayers, Nick.

Amen to that, Gus! (you OK if I call you Gus?) Pes ta chrysostome! I don't know which god this guy's thankful to, but I'm sure it's not the God of the Bible I believe in. What else is new? People have always made gods after their own image and linking. Five years ago I moved here from Southern...

Zaz, you're peacher than a peach...try a superpeach. thx again. Earion, thx for that last post of yours. I wouldn't have known of that thread otherwise.

Are you serious? I'm sorry Nickel, I just read this and I'm still in disbelief!!! After 13,559 painstaking, time-consuming, responsibly-documented contributions... that's the thanks? If for each contribution you were paid just $1, that's $13,559 right off the bat. I'd say that's enough to pay...

Oops, i forgot my manners in a mad rush to escape somebody else's mess here (no names, please). Bottom line, Zaz, "you are a peach" (είσαι αστέρι!) per the local expression. It's so much easier to launch a search using an ISBN. Thx a million, my friend :-) I owe you one...

I beg to disagree here. Lack of education is a lame excuse that couldn't ever account for the above gentlemen's (some of the academics) plagiarism habits. The things lacking here are honesty & moral responsibility. That's where education falls short of. In the US, plagiarism by students has...

...κι άλλα 3 εξώνυμα της Ελλάδας εν Κίνα, Ιαπωνία, και Κορέα. Όσοι έχουν κάποια εξοικείωση με ασιατικές γλώσσες θα γνωρίζουν ότι οι ως άνω έχουν συλλαβική γραφή μεν, συλλαβιστική προφορά δε (ισομερής τονισμός συλλαβών) 希腊 Xīlà = (τ)σιι-λα ギリシャ Girisha = γκι-ρι-σα 그리스 geuliseu = (γ)κρι-σε

Ah, the wild Killer, who else! Among the few artists who managed to turn his failing career around after a ruinous scandal. That son of a gun..! To stay on the subject: Το φιλοσόφησε ως φαίνεται και, αντί απλώς να συμβιβαστεί, από ροκενρολάς το γύρισε στο κάντρι-γουέστερν, και πέτυχε o...

...yep, so far so good, but then you go on to say: ...now you lost me here. Just as you were making the difference clear, you turned around and blurred it. What happened, dude? Swapped horses in midstream? Now quote 2 seems to contradict quote 1. See what happens when you switch from soft to...

Thx very much for your kind offer Nick (boy, that's a prohibitive option considering shipping, but who knows? I may have to take you up on it!) No, I didn't see this new book listed on Amazon yet, too soon I guess. My Greek<>English Concise Dictionary's still on sale, though my royalties have...

Thx Nickel. Wow, I can't wait to get my hands on it! I wonder if it's available for sale on Amazon. Haven't checked yet.

You mean like a Lexicon of Lexilogists? Hmm, sounds to me like a brave new thread. OK, diversion party's over, folks. Back to the salt mines. We're already on page 2, and we haven't even BEGUN to answer bernardina's original question (myself included)! Oh! What was the question again? A...
