Do you call Greek people Grecians?

While "Grecian" is an acceptable word to describe something from Greece, it's not the preferred term when referring to people from Greece.

Here's why:

* "Greek" is the most commonly used and accepted term. It's direct, respectful, and avoids any potential for misunderstanding.

* "Grecian" has a somewhat archaic feel and is often used in more formal or literary contexts. It can also sound a bit pretentious.

* "Greek" is a self-designation. People from Greece identify as Greeks, and using that term acknowledges their own preferred identity.

Therefore, it's always best to refer to people from Greece as Greeks.
