H. L. Mencken,
The American Language — Greek
(1919)
“ S. S. Lontos, editor of Atlantis, the Greek newspaper published in New York, that Greek journalists and other writers working in the United States try to avoid the use of Americanisms in their writing, and that the same care is observed by educated Greeks in conversation. But the masses of Greek immigrants imitate the newcomers of all other races by adopting Americanisms wholesale. ”
