Henry Fowler? To my knowledge, he was a dictionary-maker, not a linguist. To be fair, back then, the field of linguistics was not terribly well established, so he might have qualified for the title at the time. However, linguistics has learned a lot and moved on since then. You would be seriously hard-pressed to find a prescriptivist linguist these days. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
