Sadly, not every editor of a news venue these days is as adept at copy editing as they used to be. But if they are aware of this weakness then then they need to either trust their writers more or augment their editorial staff appropriately. Once a few years ago I wrote a piece on a Gershwin musical revival and used the phrase "but it ain't necessarily so" (thereby quoting a rather famous Gershwin song title); the "editor" changed this to read "but it's not necessarily true." Yes, this person has no idea I was referring to a Gershwin song and actually just assumed I was sing lousy grammar. Sigh.

This leaves out any who would identify themselves as Egyptian Pagan, Sumerian Pagan, Canaanite Pagan, and more. Although the definition includes Europe as a whole, I feel that it distinctly leaves out Southern Europe, especially the Greeks and Romans, who had more in common with the Mediterranean world and the Near East than with Northern Europe. Since I am a Canaanite Pagan, practicing the reconstructionist Pagan religion of Natib Qadish, this issue is of great importance to me. Peace, wellbeing, and wisdom, tess I agree with you, Apuleius, in regards to the word "European".

I am a Canaanite Pagan, and I know of other Near East, Middle East, and Mediterranean Pagans who are left out of this particular definition. We may be small in numbers, but we are out there.
