We all ascribe to this moniker from time to time ... I propose we call ourselves wordsmiths.

Not all of us, Jazzoctopus. I have never, and will never, call myself a wordsmith. The word carries an implication of skill and craftmanship in the use of words. My hubris doesn't stretch far enough for me to apply "wordsmith" to myself, even though it is undoubtedly apt for others.
