Hello List, cc Dan,
correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, there ain't no such thing as a groupo or grouppo. There is a group (= English), and there is a gruppo (= Italian). Groupo always struck me as a made-up mish- mash, neither here nor there.
Or am I behind the times and totally out of it?
