Before joining, I realised that there are many minor mistakes (grammatical, spelling etc.) in several articles, so I intend to use this account to rectify those errors. Also, my school's address is blocked so this will help with my editing. Furthermore, as my mathematical knowledge develops - as I'm doing A level maths, and intend to further it at university - I may be able to contribute to the mathematics portal. So until later, most of my edits will be minor, and I'll try not to be hypercorrect.
Oh yeah, I'll try not to correct American English spellings (unless it's in an article that should have British spellings - like a British region etc.), however tempting it may be...
I will immediately remove any vandalism, which I notice (of course), whenever I browse.
