In reply to:

Am I correct in thinking that one of the proposed appellations for those who post here, is just such a hybrid? I am thinking of linguaphile.


It is indeed. If we wish to preserve the etymological decencies (though quite why since every other decency went out of the window long ago) we should be glossophiles. Why does the obvious derivation from glossophilia make me feel uneasy?
