In the UK we say one person is a Taurian, and so the plural is Taurians.

That means you either have just had or are about to have a birthday, Clive. Happy Birthday.

I tend to marry Leos. Twice, so far, anyway! :)

Hi GG,
Good detective work.

And you must have  a lot of patience and forbearance. (:)) Smile

Really? I didn't know that! Surprise Thanks, Nona!

I noticed that only the OED lists "Taurian" and only a few dictionaries give "Taurean", so I wanted to ask whether "I'm a Taurus" (which is what I've always said Embarrassed ) would be acceptable/common/natural (if it's not, I promise I'll use Taurian).

Thanks!

In the US, you can sure say "I"m a Taurus." (But I'll let Nona answer whether it's weird to say that in the UK.)
