tbh I don't think "researches language structure" has much at all of a correlation with "uses language in a pheasant manner".

it happens to with Tolkein. but it's kinda like claiming a compiler optimization specialist is a good video game developer simply because games use compilers.

I've been comparing Iliad translations. Some of best classicists, who best understand Greek and the original text, are lousy poets.

Far too late to edit now, but I got a laugh out of the autocorrect "pheasant" at least
