[edit] About me

Hello. I live in the North of England. I have a varying Northern/Southern accent depending where I am. I spend about ⅔ of the year at Winchester College, in College... institution (It's really a boarding house, but as I've put myself down as a pedant I'll have to put the correct option...). I have been on Wikipedia since 6th January 2006, so my log entry informs me.

[edit] Topics of "expertise"

Pedantic grammar, grammar of languages, mainly cleaning up articles minorly. Books by Phillip Pullman, as well.
