Welcome to my Wikipedia user page. My username is The_Linguist (talk · contribs), due to my love of languages and expression. I am an 18 year-old student in Tennessee, USA, and a lifetime resident of Murfreesboro. I am currently pursueing a bachelor's degree in Foreign Language with a minor in Linguistics from Middle Tennessee State University.

[edit] Mentalities

I am a pragmatist: something must have direct value in order for it to qualify for usefulness. Anything that doesn't have value is more or less useless.

[edit] Spelling...my biggest pet peeve

I detest bad spellers. As a linguist I believe people should learn how to, at least, speak and write their own language fluently.

However, please note that I am not a grammarian by trade; I am known to make a mistake from time to time (as rare as that may be). By putting this disclaimer here, I figure I am removing myself from intense scrutiny via my fellow wikipedians.
