"And what of those of us who stick to the Queen’s English?

Why, we pray for you, of course. What sort of people do you take us for? :)

Barbarians, of course. :)

"Barbarians, of course."

You mean the Barbarians we are singing about here?

Here's the "non pc" translation:

O Lord, save thy people,
and bless thine inheritance!
Grant victory to the Orthodox Christians,
over the barbarians,
and by virtue of thy cross,
preserve thy habitation.

Wrong! :) You see, the Greeks invented the word "barbarian," and it refers to anyone who doesn't speak Greek. :)
