Morpheme addict.

You are awesome.

*chuckle* Well, thanks, I try. :)

(Although, to be linguistically correct, I'm actually a grapheme addict, since a morpheme is just the smallest possible liguistic unit capable of semantic meaning, whereas a grapheme is the smallest unit of written language... but I didn't want to pass up the pun by being pedantic.)

No, pedantry should never get in the way of a good pun.
