I'm thinking it was a different "w" word altogether.
It's known as return fire, it wasn't an opening salvo. That was you. Wordsworth is recognized as as a great writer and poet and I merely used him in contrast to the hack from Fox. On reflection you are correct, wordsmith would indeed be a more suitable choice.Wordsmith would've definitely been more appropriate when commenting on one's use of grammar, rather than a reference to a 200 year old poet.
Your attempted personal shot has been noted, as it sailed over my bow.
Is this because you weren't sure who Wordsworth was? Surely the connection is obvious. It's like saying "this Einstein" when talking about intelligence.Sure you were mate, it is such an obvious correlation you know, redundant phrasing and english poets.
I used to love police woman, oh wait, that's Angie Dickinson.If everyone could stop being a bunch of Emily Dickinson's that would be great.
Suit yourself but in previous years on this very site I have referred to WW. It might interest you to know that WW was referred to on television in the series Breaking Bad, Walter White, Walt Whitman ,William Wordsworth etc. I could have easily used wordsmith and it arguably might have been a better choice for the less well read but my choice was deliberate.
Nah, it was based on the fact that referencing a 200 year old poet when talking about one's grammar makes little sense, comparative to wordsmith which huge has seemingly agreed with in the previous post.Is this because you weren't sure who Wordsworth was?

Pretty sure it ended up being Walt Whitman but I imagine someone was attempting to work out what W.W stood for and may have said William Wordsmith as a guess.When?
When?
When Hank is wondering who WW is when Gayle writes it in his notes. He also says Willy Wonka. Then he realises it's Walt when he sees WW in the book that was a gift from Gayle in Walt's toilet.
I don't recall him being mentioned.
Woodrow Wilson, Willy Wonka, Walter White, Walt Whitman are mentioned.
Thread successfully derailed. I'd like to thank myself and @Huge for making this possible.
HahahahahaBut you couldn't have done it without Wordsworth.

It would be like saying Einstein to something related to microsoft office insofar as they both require fundamental science but aren't really similar at all.
Yeah you are right except there's no walt whitman either
