Wait. You have a degree in linguistics? Be still my heart! I've considered going back to school to study the same just because I love words, languages, names and surnames. No practical reason at all. ;-)

Well, they call it a degree in linguistics. I really have a degree in Russian language, but I had to take a lot of linguistics classes along the way. And it was from "the __________ School of Languages and Linguistics." So I think that counts.
You should, you should! I signed up for adult education classes in Italian at my local community college. It was a blast, except I sounded very Russian when I spoke Italian. (lol) Go for it.
Or if you don't have classes locally, there's a great set of lectures by Prof. Seth Lerer called "The History of the English Language." You can get it on amazon on CD or DVD. I love to listen to it while driving long distance. It's all about English from Anglo-Saxon times up to the present, but there's a beginning few lectures on pure linguistics that you might like. Etymological catnip.
