(I learnt ancient Greek in secondary school, does that make me a classicist?) Will read the Kosmopolit piece saying referenda are bad, then come back with a refutement. Or perhaps not - rather busy these days. Surely the OED must have meant ‘demoi’ for plural? (I learnt ancient Greek in secondary school, does that make me a classicist?)
