Editing Demotic Greek (section)

====Phonological features====
Modern Greek features many letter combinations that were avoided in traditional Demotic:
* {{lang|el|-πτ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|'''πτ'''αίσμα}} "misdemeanor"); Demotic preferred {{lang|el|-φτ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|'''φτ'''αίω}} "to err; to be guilty")
* {{lang|el|-κτ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|'''κτ'''ίσμα}} "building, structure"); Demotic preferred {{lang|el|-χτ-}} [e.g. {{lang|el|'''χτ'''ίστης}} "(stone)mason"]
* {{lang|el|-ευδ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|ψ'''εύδ'''ος}} "falsity, lie"); Demotic preferred {{lang|el|-ευτ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|ψ'''εύτ'''ης}} "liar")
* {{lang|el|-σθ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|ηρκέ'''σθ'''ην}} / {{lang|el|αρκέ'''σθ'''ηκα}} "I was sufficed / satisfied"); Demotic preferred {{lang|el|-στ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|αρκέ'''στ'''ηκα}})
* {{lang|el|-χθ-}} (e.g. {{lang|el|(ε)'''χθ'''ές}} "yesterday"); Demotic preferred {{lang|el|-χτ-}} [e.g. {{lang|el|(ε)'''χτ'''ές}}]
* etc.

Native Greek speakers, depending upon their level of education, may often make mistakes in these "educated" aspects of their language; one can often see mistakes like {{lang|el|προήχθη}} instead of {{lang|el|προήχθην}} (''I've been promoted''), {{lang|el|λόγου του ότι/λόγο το ότι}} instead of {{lang|el|λόγω του ότι}} (''{{not a typo|due to the fact that}}''), {{lang|el|τον ενδιαφέρον άνθρωπο}} instead of {{lang|el|τον ενδιαφέροντα άνθρωπο}} (''the interesting person''), {{lang|el|οι ενδιαφέροντες γυναίκες}} instead of {{lang|el|οι ενδιαφέρουσες γυναίκες}} (''the interesting women''), {{lang|el|ο ψήφος}} instead of {{lang|el|η ψήφος}} (''the vote''). {{citation needed|date=September 2016}}
