There seem to be so many of them out there. What's your preferred term testifying to your enjoyment of words?

For now, I think logophile suffices quite well, for me.

I also like linguaphile. We had this thread some time ago.

Hey, Asa, Congrats on your 4000 posts! When I look back over some of those posts of yours, there is no way you should call yourself a "lowly blue-collar type." I find you very erudite.

I'm a wordophile or a wordie (as in "foodie.")
