Gee--do philology and philately come from the same root?

Well, Phil O'logy was my ethics professor in college wheras Michael Philately is an Irish-American ex-riverdancer who tends to stamp quite a bit.

Okay, This isn't Wordplay and fun and I'm being flippant but I'm on a day off and I had to come into work to some stuff so I think I'm entitled to a bit of fun!
