To:  oxford english dictionary

This is a petition to have another definition for the word "Scandic" (scan'dic {skan-dik} adjective) added to the dictionary as "Anything of or pertaining to something or someone of Scandinavian origins".
ex: "scandic eyes"
"the paining had scandic elements to it"
etc.

Currently the word "Scandic" has the definitions of:

(–adjective Chemistry)
of or pertaining to scandium: scandic oxide.
(n.Symbol Sc)
A silvery-white metallic element found in various rare minerals and separated as a byproduct in the processing of certain uranium ores. An artificially produced radioactive isotope is used as a tracer in studies of oil wells and pipelines. Atomic number 21; atomic weight 44.956; melting point 1,540°C; boiling point 2,850°C; specific gravity 2.99; valence 3. See Table at element.
[From Latin Scandia, Scandinavia.]
scan'dic (-dĭk) adj.)


I believe that "Scandic" is a perfect short term to described objects, people or places of or pertaining to Scandinavia.
It is more of a slang term i guess you could say, but I think there are far too few words related to Scandinavia and that this word is more fitting for the century to describe scandic things.

Petition for Scandinavia! Sign and help get this word get another definition into the dictionary!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
