What’s a Grammaticus?

Greek gave Latin one word that encapsulates everything I do professionally: grammaticus, or γραμματικός in the Greek. The most authoritative Greek-English dictionary defines a γραμματικός as “a teacher of the rudiments; one who occupies himself with literary texts, grammarian, critic.” The foremost Latin lexicon, Lewis & Short, adds only “philologist.”  Grammaticus captures exactly what I do every day: I teach English, History, Latin, and Greek in middle and high school. I love the literature of all three languages and I can always improve as a teacher and student on the great works written in these three tongues. If you’re still curious, check out the About page.
