Five Cents for Every Greek Word

How much really would Greece make if it charged for every greek word uttered worldwide? Billions, one would presume. Does the rest of the world owe to Greece? German historian and writer, Leonora Seeling, who considers Greece the cradle of Western culture and democracy, believes so. She is angry at the German press for attacking Greece and she's done something about it:

She has actually published a booklet suggesting that every European pay the symbolic amount of 5 cents every time he/she says a Greek word, as a minimal tribute to the country on which European culture and achievement is based.

Seeling expresses her opposition to the patronizing way the German media talk about Greece, also accusing them of turning a blind eye to the corruption of their own country (Germany) and instead criticizing Greece. She also suggests that Greece cut back on buying German weapons by 50%.
