A “logophile” (LAW-guh-file) – from the Greek for “speech” + “friend” – is a lover of words.

Example (as used by Don Hauptman today): “Since childhood, I’ve been fascinated by spoonerisms. In 1991, Dell published Cruel and Unusual Puns, my book on the subject. I still occasionally write articles about the genre for fellow logophiles.”

Testimonials

  • “The Conference Was a Success…”

    “I thought you might like some feedback on your Internet Marketing Bootcamp.

    “I had three questions when I came to the conference. I made progress on all three, so for me the conference was a big success. I got a great deal out of it — including over 60 pages of notes.

    “The two speakers, and their topics, that fired me up with intense, gut-level interest were Michael Masterson and Drayton Bird.

    “No surprise on Michael Masterson. (I took 10 pages of notes when he spoke the first time.) Just a year ago, I would not have dreamed of meeting him, much less getting his autograph on The Pledge…

    “Drayton Bird was incredible, in his knowledge and wonderful sense of humor.

    “Thanks so much.”
