If one who teaches is called a teacher, and one who writes is called a writer, and one who farms is called a farmer, why is one who sues called a lawyer? They should be called suers! If an experienced carpenter is a master carpenter, and an experienced mason is a master mason, then an experienced fisherman, one who is very good at baiting fish hooks, should be called a master baiter. 😃 ---

But I like “suers.” Makes me think of the sound attributed to calling pigs: “Sooooeeeee” ---
