linguistics
Linguistics is a field of study focusing on the structure of language. Completely captivating and impossibly satisfying.
Example:
A 2 year old child learns on average 9 new concepts a day. Somehow the brains of toddlers can intuit multiple abstract concepts over the course of a day. Do you remember what it was like to understand what a drain is? a lock? to sweat? to worry? to forget? glass? digestion? Linguistics explores the way people use language and its connection to the brain/cognitive development.


Linguistic
Someone who gets a strange joy from correcting other peoples spelling and grammatical errors on the Internet.Often Anal retentive and can count their friends on one hand.

Referring to a person of this nature as a Linguistic will drive them insane, as its not the correct use of the word. Also see Grammar Nazi.
Example:
tim: I went to that new restuarant yesterday, the burgers their are nice.

john: Whats a restuarant? oh you mean restaurant. also I think you meant there not their.

tim: didn't realize that you were such a Linguistic.


linguist
Can have religious connotations. In Genesis, God destroys a the Tower of Babel which man is building in order to reach the heavens. He also scatters man across the world and gives them different languages so that people cannot communicate with one another.
Describing someone as a 'linguist' suggests he is one who can unite mankind once more, and free him from oppression. Potentially, he does this through his poetic skill rather than through speaking all the world's languages.
Of course, it's used a bit more lightly than all that...
Example:
That rapper is a linguist.
