What is a "Lexicographer" ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicography :
"A person devoted to lexicography is called a lexicographer."
Forgive the OT continuation, but equally:
Lexicography is that subject which is studied by lexicographers.
Not really. If it was a subject of study as such, the word would be "lexicology." The suffix "-graphy" denotes writing. Lexicographers _write_ dictionaries.
