Perhaps Alexander's birthday? I would probably list him as the chief vehicle 
used of God to spread Greek and make it "koine".

Hi Mark,
 
I am not sure. Gildersleeve would be fine, or how about Carl Conrad’s birthday! 
 : > ) To be honest, I am not good at choosing things like this, so I think, if 
everyone agrees, we should just leave it up to your wise judgment. : > )   Oh, 
and yes I have already voted. : > )
 
Many thanks,
Blue Harris
 
P.S.  You were one of the ones, among others, I thought of when I mentioned 
enthusiasm. : > ) So again, many thanks to you!

Hi, Blue, 

They have something similar on B-Latin.  They celebrate it on the Ides of March, 

I think.

What day so you propose?  Feb 6th, Basil Gildersleeve's birthday, would work for 

me. 


Are you going to do any other voting today?

I would like to take a moment out of this day to say thank you to all the 
*esteemed scholars* on this list, as Marilyn Phemister  called them in her post 
last month. Those are good words. They are scholars because they are truly 
gifted in the Greek language. They are esteemed because they have devoted much 
time, energy, and discipline to the Greek language. If not for their gifting we 
would not have the many fine translations we possess; if not for their 
enthusiasm we would lose the joy of the Greek language; and finally, if not for 
their devotion we would not have such willing brethren willing to enlighten 
others to the intricacies of the Greek language. So, if we do not already have 
such a day on the list, I would like cast my vote for a B-Greek Appreciation day 


for all our esteemed scholars on the list.
 
Blue Harris
