There is a word "graphic" in English. It's an adjective. Like all adjectives in English it can be used as if it were a noun. However, usage among English speakers is fairly sloppy. "Graph" tends to be used for both purposes.
These days, among sloppy speakers, there is a single word that is used to suspend an argument without any resolution: "whatever". Received on Mon Jan 14 2008 - 14:57:16 CET
