[edit] General Information

Good day to thee, stranger. Allow me to introduce myself; perhaps an introduction would add credibility to my words and edits. I was born on 13/11/1988 in Moscow, Russia. Currently, I am a second-year undergraduate student at the University of Oxford, reading for a B.A. in Russian (the course is heavily biased toward the study of literature, and I hope in due time to do some major editing in articles concerning Russian writers). My other interests include linguistics, history, and philosophy.

[edit] On the use of Userboxes

While I realise that Userboxes may seem very disruptive to some, I consider them an excellent way of quickly relaying information about me to the visitors of the page and also kind of fun. Obviously, I try not to litter the page with such userboxes as can be considered completely unnecessary, although they do slip through occasionaly. Please forgive me for this.

Grammar and stuff... OED This user uses Oxford spelling. its This user understands the difference between its ("of it") and it's ("it is"). their / there / they're This user knows that there, their, and they're are not the same word. A, B, and C This user prefers the serial comma. “…” This user favours typographic quotation marks over typewriter style. ; This user is head over heels in love with the semi-colon; he or she uses it far too much.
