We can say that those 2 speeches were the first appearance of "Greeklish"!! But those speeches were actually a piece of literature art, where now Greeklish is a hideous form of communication between Greeks who are sooo bored to spend 1 second to press alt+shift prior to writing a message.L4Linuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028406018466939194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525387298742496139.post-64743863480764133712008-12-17T20:24:00.000-08:002008-12-17T20:24:00.000-08:00QUOTE"politicians are rather cryptoplethorist"QUOT...QUOTE"politicians are rather cryptoplethorist"QUOTE<BR/><BR/>QUOTE"That speech was made by the Greek ex prime-minister Xenophon Zolotas in 1959 at Boards of Governors, Washington D.C and granted him a place in Greek history."QUOTE<BR/><BR/>The only thing I got out of his speech is that he was a politician and politicians are always cryptic.
