We've had our fun here before mud-wrasslin about the use of the word architect as a verb. I thought y'all might like to know I heard, this morning, the back-formed noun, architecter.

Out on bond so soon? I assume they are considering the death of the perpetrator to have been justifiable homicide.

and when, would you surmise, would one consult with an architector, as opposed to a good-ol' architect?
or was this in some entirely other context?

I think it was being used to avoid confusion with architect, the verb. The noun architect has had its day. The usage was clearly indicating what was formerly known as architect, so your question, my dear tsuwm, is obviated.

So, who's gonna tell that lovely lad from Loveland that he's studying to become an archaism?

Come, come now, Sir J. Surely, he's not studying to become a noun. He's studying for a profession, irregardless of whether or not that profession does or doesn't have a name for it that may or may not end in a suffix that indicates agency or not.

No need, I see it *sniff*. I guess I'll just have to succumb to the wave of the future and change my profile . . .
There is one upside to this though. I can officially say I'm studying architectorture.

Then that makes you the eventual architectorturist.
