Is this a word? Yes the forms Onomatopoeia and Onomatopoeic are both used. Roar is an example. Sounds like the function it is describing. The former is more common. Its a word I enjoy, (Sad) like Oxymoron. I thoroughly enjoy the English language. It is the language of hero's and still quite unequaled. Unlike most of our other achievements. Although worldwide it presence is down to America rather than England latterly.

Caretaker PM is now in power in Greece, and taking pains to tell everyone there isn't a bank panic. Has he been talking to our government about how to cause a panic?

June 17th also penned in for next Greek elections and the anti-austerity leftists are posed to win. They are promising a juggling act of ditching the loans but staying in the Euro

Is this a word? I wonder how it's spelt? "Exactly as it sounds" (try the veal/tip your waitress/I'll get my coat)

I think it was just on the radio that Greece are leaving the Euro and going to the Drachma as of tomorrow. Initial exchange rate 1:1.

Who is noticable by his absense here for a little while, maybe he already has !? ( Read a few random pages of this topic if you don't know who Steffan is)
