Wordsmith
noun
• a skilled user of words.

“Wordsmith” in Swedish is “ordkonstnär”, which translated back to English means “word artist”. A word artist is someone who is a skilled user of words, but not necessarily a comedian. Is it required to be a skillful writer or is the usage of words in spoken language just as important? How does one actually qualify as a word artist?

This is an open call for anyone who has employed this title, or people to nominate!
