To drink from the Pierian Spring was to be inspired by the Muses. Perhaps the sip in pieriansipist is a small drink, a sip. That would make a pieriansipist someone who has sipped from the Pierian Spring and therefore slightly inspired by the Muses. Maybe.

I think I have read a poem about drinking from the Pirian spring? Perhaps the webmaster is referring to that?

I put this because the OP was, if you'll pardon my bluntness, very tortured English. OP, you may have guessed by now, means Original Post. p.s. - welcome, raul Last edited by tsuwm; 04/02/08 11:52 PM.

Maybe you can give me more web pages like here that will help me get better.

It is possibly coined by the user, and even though we linguaphiles can work out what it means (see Faldage's post), 99% of native English speakers also would have no idea.

I read also of some other websites which can help me to learn about English. One such website is called "Where Can I Look It Up?". When I click on the link, I see lots of pages about English, but I also see a word I do not know. The page says "proud pieriansipist" but my dictionary does not have this word. I try to email the person who made this page but I get a long error message from gmail that says the address is wrong. So I ask here, what is pieriansipist? Thank you. [personally, I would recast everything in past tense.] raul, this site isn't the best place to learn English syntax and grammar. when we discuss that sort of thing here, the discussions tend to concern the finer points, or even esoterica (hi jim!). but there are always folks about who will help out with a particular bit of writing.

I know that when I read in French sometimes translating the words with a dictionary leaves me more confused than I started.
