It's strictly Sardo or Sarda.

I have been calling my Italian true love a Sardinian. Because she's from and lives in Sardinia, an island off the Italian boot. But in Sardinia she's known as a Sarda. Because that's the feminine for Sardinian in the Italian language. And the masculine is Sardo. So I'm not gonna use the term Sardinian anymore. It's strictly Sardo or Sarda. And if I ever become a citizen of this island paradise, I'll be a Sardo. And when I return to Minnesota for the summer, I'm gonna bring along Sardegna and Italia flags. Please note that I'm spelling the country names correctly. In Italian. And I will fly both flags from a flagpole in my yard. And another thing. My first name in Italian is Giacomo, not James/Jim. --Jim Broede
