| Welcome to Europeia! So what the heck is Europeia anyways? Can I join? So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go? What offices are there for people to be elected into? What is there for me to do in Europeia? That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more? |

It is important to note (thank you Cracked) that plethora does not merely mean 'a lot of' but rather ''an excess or overabundance of. |

But this would imply a negative connotation, like 'too much', wouldn't it? In Greek (where the word comes from), plethora means more than 'a lot of', similarly to 'abundance', but not excessive or overabundant. This is also what I assumed the correct usage of the word is in English. |

Does anyone else realize we had a conversation about the word "plethora" and its true meaning sometime last week? Forget where though. |
