Hi HoJo
Collective nouns are one of the fun, as opposed to merely functional, bits of the English language.

So what would be a fun term for a group of word-lovers?

a verb of word lovers.

>which link?

or, the link to (one of the) the long ago discussions of what to call a collection of AWADers (i.e., us); the original discussion from which ayleu(r), amongst other suggestions, evolved is lost in the mists of time, and the evolution of this site.

anyways, here's a link to one of the reinyart(n)ations .

BTW, rana is a genus of frog, and also means prince!
and ranine is a collective adj. for frogs.

I meant the old thread but didn't check, it might be old enough to be threadbare by now.
