    Cool It sounds Greek to me

    If you can read the following, then you understand Greek better than me, as i did not understand some words!!
    Kyrie,
    It is Zeus' anathema on our epoch (for the dynamism of our economies) and the heresy of our economic method and policies that we should agonize the Skylla of nomismatic plethora and the Charybdis of economic anaemia. It is not my idiosyncracy to be ironic or sarcastic but my diagnosis would be that politicians are rather cryptoplethorists. Although they emphatically stigmatize nomismatic plethora, they energize it through their tactics and practices. Our policies should be based more on economic and less on political criteria. Our gnomon has to be a metron between economic,strategic and philanthropic scopes. Political magic has always been anti-economic. In an epoch characterized by monopolies, oligopolies, monopolistic antagonism and polymorphous inelasticities, our policies have to be more orthological, but this should not be metamorphosed into plethorophobia, which is endemic among academic economists. Nomismatic symmetry should not antagonize economic acme. A greater harmonization between the practices of the economic and nomismatic archons is basic. Parallel to this,we have to synchronize and harmonize more and more our economic and nomismatic policies panethnically. These scopes are more practicable now, when the prognostics of the political and economic barometer are halcyonic. The history of our didimus organization on this sphere has been didactic and their gnostic practices will always be a tonic to the polyonymous and idiomorphous ethnical economies. The genesis of the programmed organization will dynamize these policies. Therefore, i sympathize, although not without criticism one or two themes with the apostles and the hierarchy of our organs in their zeal to program orthodox economic and nomismatic policies, although I have some logomachy with them.I apologize for having tyranized you with my Hellenic phraseology. In my epilogue, i emphasize my eulogy to the philoxenous aytochtons of this cosmopolitan metropolis and my encomium to you, Kyrie stenographers.
    That speech was made by the Greek ex prime-minister Xenophon Zolotas in 1959.

    Even Greeks would have a hard time deciphering that one.

    That's true. Speech in my country is getting more & more mundane each passing day...
    And in Greek forums, greeklish has become the official language.

    It read like bot-speak to me. So I wrongly assumed it was greek text that had been scanned, processed with OCR, and run through english translation software without the benefit of a human proofreader.
    Not so.

    A quick google shows that Mr. Zolotas did this on a couple of occasions. He loaded presentations, meant to be made in english, with as many greek and greek-rooted words as he could. Presumably to make a point. Seems he was quite a colorful and controversial character. Are you studying him in school?

    qv

    p.s. I wonder if that's where Daman Wayans got the inspiration for his "Oswald Bates" character.

    Zolotas wanted to show the Greek language's influence to English.
    He took his place in History with his 2 famous speeches (the above was the 2nd and most famous).
    The following is his first speech of 1957 Annual Meeting, Boards of Governors, Washington D.C.:
    Kyrie, I eulogize the archons of the Panethnic Numismatic Thesaurus and the Ecumenical Trapeza for the orthodoxy of their axioms, methods and policies, although there is an episode of cacophony of the Trapeza with Hellas. With enthusiasm we dialogue and synagonize at the synods of our didymous organizations in which polymorphous economic ideas and dogmas are analyzed and synthesized. Our critical problems such as the numismatic plethora generate some agony and melancholy. This phenomenon is characteristic of our epoch. But, to my thesis, we have the dynamism to program therapeutic practices as a prophylaxis from chaos and catastrophe. In parallel, a Panethnic unhypocritical economic synergy and harmonization in a democratic climate is basic. I apologize for my eccentric monologue. I emphasize my euharistia to you, Kyrie to the eugenic and generous American Ethnos and to the organizes and protagonists of his Amphictyony and the gastronomic symposia.
