Philologists hate me.

I see connections where they do not because they never looked anywhere but their textbooks and lecture hall chalk boards.

So much of my research is word analysis though and I'm a fucking mathematician, not a linguist (although technically math IS a language and an art form).

It's the perfect book title, except for one thing.

Ornithologists are going to join the philologists in hating me when they buy my book thinking its a book for bird word nerds or some weird niche like that.
