[edit] Expanded Useless Information

Kith[1] is a teenage math geek with vague ideas of becoming a mechanical engineer, though she went to an arts school. She will be starting her freshman year of college at Bowdoin College in August; hurrah!

She is a small-time grammar, spelling, and punctuation nazi (though she makes no claims whatsoever to being perfectly right at all times), and pursuit of such will probably make up the overwhelming majority of her edits. Etymology is a passion, and she currently takes both French and Latin, having exhausted all available Spanish classes.

Kith reads extensively and obsessively, often science fiction or fantasy, but occasionally non-fiction. Her current passions include Terry Pratchett and Diana Wynne Jones, and especially Good Omens. She is currently absorbed by Duncan J. Watts' Six Degrees.

Kith knows BASIC enough to program a TI-83+ graphing calculator and is learning the slightly more useful Delphi and C languages. She has been using HTML since roughly the age of eleven, and is always happy to help make things look pretty.

Kith should also be doing a report about Anaximander for Physics instead of adding apostrophes to Wikipedia articles at 11:38pm in her senior year of high school.

...Dang.

  1. ^ ('burd' is a kind of diminutive form of 'bird,' which is in the first place a diminutive for a griffin (preferred spelling 'gryphon')... on second thought, just don't ask.)
