:::I'm sorry to be a pathetic stickler for details, but when you say "according to the English dictionary", precisely which dictionary do you mean? There are several major dictionaries that are considered authoritative on English usage, such as Merriam-Webster's or the OED, but they are not all consistent with each other. I'm definitely sure that not every English dictionary out there, even recent ones, will support your last statement. E.g. my New Oxford Dictionary of English (1998) gives Romany as both the adjective form and as a synonym for the noun Rom. —
