I'm in favor of "archinecter", personally. Like "farmer", it seems like it's more correct.
From my dictionary:
-er 1 |?r| suffix 1 denoting a person, animal, or thing that performs a specified action or activity : farmer | sprinkler. 2 denoting a person or thing that has a specified attribute or form : foreigner | two-wheeler. 3 denoting a person concerned with a specified thing or subject : milliner | philosopher. 4 denoting a person belonging to a specified place or group : city-dweller | New Yorker.
-or 1 suffix (forming nouns) denoting a person or thing performing the action of a verb, or denoting another agent : escalator | governor | resistor. ORIGIN from Latin, sometimes via Anglo-Norman French -eour or Old French -eor (see also -ator , -itor) .
i've changed from archinecter to archinector after taking note that archinect is based on the root word 'connect' and the appropriate suffix for 'connect' is '-or' = 'connector'.
i agree 100% with SW. it's about being a connector. although i am somewhat partial to the classier version archinecteur, though it shouldn't be limited to those with 1000 posts or more.
i say...s/he who calls themself an archinecteur shall be one, but in proper parlance, we're all simply archinectors.
i thought paul p and his crew were "archinecticians"
(i was really sad when they stopped being "pimps" and stopped "pimping architecture since 199...7(?)"
"Archinecter" or "Archinector"?

What's the consensus?
I like tumbleweed's coinage: archinecteur.
That's great! I haven't seen it in use. Prouvé and Le Corbusier would approve.

Good point, Steven. But 'necter sounds like nectar, which seems pretty sweet to me.
I bounce back n forth with -teur and -tor
also, since i, like you, am performing the action of archinecting, i believe that i, like you, am an archinector.
i think the term "archinecteur" should only apply to those with over 1000 comments.
all archinecteurs are archinectors. But not all archinectors are archinecteurs.

"Archinecter" or "Archinector"?
Late to this one but Paul P is the Archinector.
We are all Archinecters.

what about
'necters ?
Or..Archinecta....?
If you ar stressing "connect", then wouldn't it be "connector": Archinector?
archinecteur / archinecteuse
(pl. archinecteurs / archinecteuses)
archinector sounds like the bad child of the terminator ...
so definetly archinecter
i'm with steven ward on this topic and propose an archinector vs. archineter challenge via myspace.
