I have never said "sniger snogwriter" in my life! It sounds as bad as "informant." Seriously, folks, I do use "collected from" where possible; one also sees "taken down from" and that's fine too. But I need a noun. I can't write "The collected from was a fifty-year-old plumber." "Source" won't quite do for reasons explained above, and "music source" is one-sided: the person in question also provided the word set. So let's keep the suggestions coming in please! Stephen R.
