I intentionally got the Oxford Classical Texts version a while back to avoid the temptation to read a bilingual edition. It's challenging, and slow going, but my Greek is improving phenomenally. Because irregular and archaic forms appear, it leads one into deep, deep etymology.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
