Did you know that on America's roads there is a whole lane dedicated to safe, legal drivers?

It's called the right lane.

Drive responsibly.

...Oh, right.

I'm adding a new thing to my entries now: Ancient Greek Word of the Day. You know, every day I post a word from the Classical Greek language ('cuz it's so cool). Today's GWotD is:

Transliteration: geōrgos
Translation: farmer
Derivatives: George, georgic, geo- prefix

Georgos is related to the Greek word for land (gen). A georgos, then, referred to someone who worked with the land, or a farmer.

Actually, I believe a georgos might refer to a farmer named George. Because, you said George was derived from it.
