Funny how people from England are English, people from Ireland are Irish, people from Scotland are Scottish . . . but people from Greenland are not “Greenish” nor people from Iceland “Iceish”.

(How come people from Denmark are not “Denmarkic”? Never mind the fact that people from Lesbos are not, or maybe no longer, Lesbian but are “Lesvonian”.)

Amazing how this has stirred up attention. It’s not like the Clintons distracting us from something bad.

Hey I looked it up and some Lesbos folks tried in court to have lesbian not mean gay woman anymore. They failed.

But some of them still want Lesbian to mean a person from Lesbos.

YOU were a DIRECT INFLUENCE in my finding out that information.

And it will NEVER be useful to me in my lifetime :)

But it’s a fun (funny) fact.

Yeah, we sort of have the same problem here.

Our neighbors across the river keep yelling that they are Iowans and not the obviously more correct Iowegians.
