Same:
omniscient

adjective ≡all-knowing, all-seeing, all-wise
Omnisapient
Omniscient - wise and knowing are synomynous
I wouldn't have thought you needed a word for "all-wise"
You are either wise or you aren't :-)
Are they? I would have thought knowing was "facts". Wise is knowing what to do with them.
But if we are coining words (Pixie...) how about 'Omnisagacious' ?
Like it :-). Didn't realise I'd made it up. Lol
Yours is a googlewhack, shoota:-)
Rather fancy omnimagious
Thank you Danny xx

I was thinking something like - knowledge is knowing tomato.is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting them in a fruit salad.
lol
I like that Pixie!

thank you all.
Old Geezer! Love it! why didn't I think of that?
Thank you for Your answer dannyk13 - that ties in very closely with my own thinking, although I appreciate your perspective too, pixie374. Omnisapient and omnisagacious - wonderful, shoota!
Now all I have to do is to decide which one to use in my Pitcherwits. Hmmm...

by the way, pixie374, what is a googlewhack?

Kind regards,

CJR
When you Google something and only get one hit. Try "omnisagacious" xx
Don't do it CJ, You have already given the game away.

You have a very good point dannyk13. Now I shall have to think of something devious and perplexing.
But I like doing that.....

Kind regards,
