The problem arises when one begins to write Johnny Walker Greek and there is no
one to correct.

< For mentors, you have all the ancient authors...>
Indeed you do, and some of those ancient authors, to wit John the Revelator and
the LXX translators, wrote in less than proper Greek. Who will mentor the
mentors?
If writing Holy Ghost Greek was good enough for these guys, it's good enough for
me.

Hi, George,
If this was good enough for the Athenians, it's good enough for me.

George, I would be careful about the advice because it can easily turn
into a justification for not learning Greek, not internalizing it like a real
language. For mentors, you have all the ancient authors, just keep
paying
attention
as you read and as an ancient author says something in a way
that surprises you.
