Now, just because I like you people, well some of you, well a few of you, well the ones for whom my distaste remains unrecrudesced, quiescent, or in desuetude, I have created a new and glorious word, which is:

englsmith (pronounced [I]engel[I]smith, or inglesmith, as you prefer) It means:

an artist working in the medium of English.

This neolocution was inspired by Dahl's short-story pickpocket calling himself a 'fingersmith.'
