I hate the word commentator. Its commenter.
A common tater is a russet potato.

Chadus_Maximus, Commentationeer
KingJalopy, Unless it’s a female commenter.
Then it’s commentatrix.
tsonfeir, My mother in law is a commentatrix.
Eggyhead, Oh, we’ve all been aware of that for quite some time now.
criitz, I’m down with ditching it in favor of commenter. But I do see why it exists. To commentate is to continuously comment on something. The person’s job is to commentate, not just to comment.
tsonfeir, You mother is commenpotato.
FrickAndMortar, Unironically, I totally agree. Commentator is dumb and redundant, commenter is the superior alternative.
Just because you do it for a living, doesn’t mean that it’s a different title; a carpenter doesn’t become a carpentator because it’s a paying job. A pilot doesn’t become a pilotator when they get paid for it.
anarchrist, I am COMPUTATOR
WalrusByte, The destroyer of worlds!
bstix,

WalrusByte, THE DESTRUCTATOR!
tsonfeir, APOTATOCALYPSE!
Eggyhead, WHAT’S TATOR, PRECIOUS??
SuperIce, Commentators don’t comment though, they commentate.
Comment ≠ commentate
