But you'll grant that Janny Parker is not a native speaker of Greek.
So what does SHE know?
Oh, so you're on such familiar terms with Dr Parker that she's 'Janny'
to you? And you don't think that, as a Research Fellow of the Open
University’s Humanities Higher Education Research Group and Senior
member of the University of Cambridge Classics Faculty, she has
anything worthwhile to say to us about classical Greek?
Take a look in the mirror, and repeat your sentence which I've quoted
above, substituting 'JL Speranza' for 'Janny Parker' (and 'he' for
'SHE' if you're sensistive about such issues).
Add the letters R.A.A.

antilegein, epei Troggei ge ouden chalepon
(with 'apologies' to Plato).
