Jenkins

[DumbToday]

Not a riddle but if you can your help will be appreaciated, I tried all the obvious answeres.

"Two newspaper editors are arguing about how to arrange a layout.
They're happy with the photos they have, but the text itself needed spicing-up.
They were looking for a more in-depth analysis than the one they had written already.
One of them says to the other, You know, we should ask Jenkins. He's a proper _____, I bet he could give us some ideas."

tried wordsmith b4, lexicographer is also wrong

[DumbToday]

nope, heres a clue i received earlier:

Remember that what they want the guy to do is help with the wording....therefore he's likely to be someone who's good with words.....maybe someone who plays around with words a lot......

If it is not a trick question ..there is a Simon Jenkins and he is a COLUMNIST..

[DumbToday]

COLUMNIST doesnt work either

this is the 6th question, the rest were pretty straight foward with simple answeres like solar wind, ego, light, grass and speaker...the previous 5 question were describing the answere 100%

how do you know if it's right or wrong? Do you know how many letters, or something?

[DumbToday]

Its in a text based game im playing so you know straight away if your right or wrong. I'm the 1st person to reach that level so no one can help me, admin did however confirm there are no mistakes: spelling ect within the program.
