How is that his fault though?
He's said many times that he's not a very clever person, he just has a brain which absorbs pointless information more than other people.
I think he's great, he has a passion for education (in the loose sense of the word, not organised education), for doing whatever it is that makes you happy. He finds the English language magical and takes pleasure in using it to the extent of his capability.
Of course he's not alone in this, and nor does he claim to be. He's just a normal friendly non-judgmental bloke who has some real quality values and rarely feels the need to impose himself on others. Compare that to 95% of people on television. I'm completely with you that he's unexceptional in terms of the wider world, but in the television world he seems to be a rare thing - just an all round nice and honest bloke.
