welcome to my world

Just a few small examples of WHY I HATE GREEK RIGHT NOW. How in the hey do you even come up with these words?!

decide = αποφασίζω (apofaseezo)
businessman = επιχειρηματίας (epiheirimatias)
actor = ηθοποιός (eethopios)
rest = ξεκουράζομαι (xekoorazomay)

let's not forget the word with the comma in the middle. Yes, a comma. In the middle of a word.
ό,τι (means "whatever")

and my personal favorite, for just a teeny little English word, "use" ...
χρησιμοποιήσομαι (something like hreesimopee-eesomay)

Gah.
