Grammarian is a storied and honored term that I claim for myself as well.  There is a huge overlap between the training and work of the grammarian and of the linguist.  And I learn a lot from keep company with the many grammarians and linguists on this list.  In the immortal words of the OED, "Keep it up!"

I was deep in grammar before I ever heard the term 'linguistics.'
Now I have a doctorate in linguistics but still consider myself a grammarian.  I find no contradiction although, admittedly, I am a structuralist.
