Sounds like a famous quote.

My dad once used the word awful in a sort of speech and explained why he
used it in the context in which he did. He said the origin of the word
is "full of awe" so that isn't a bad thing. It made people think.
Because when he said what he referred to that was full of awe as awful,
people didn't get it. He was an amazing man.

From that one anecdote, he sounds like a pedantic bore.
