6/20/2004 Hellas it is!
The Greek users have spoken, Hellas it is!

Say what? It's been Hellas, what are they talking about?

bout the name of the country, they had choosen Ellas for greece, now they're coming back to Hellas

Actually it's been Hellas, Ellada, Ellas, and now after a poll back to where they started

I've been chuckling at this one. For those who don't know, there is no 'H' in Greek. So Hellas and Ellas are the same word and pronounced the same -- as if there is an 'H'. There's an aspirant mark like an apostrophe in actual Greek to indicate the 'H' sound.

Didn't Greece used to be just Greece.

Maybe USA should be USOA, for United States of America.

Should we start a poll anyone?

I prefer Home of the Largest Ball of Twine in the World (HLBTW, pronounced hullbitw).

Thank goodness they finally settled this one.. it was a real nailbiter!

I already voted that we change USA to "I hate pants" in the conferences. Got a couple of people who agreed with me, only a few thousand more to go!
