Hello, Wiki world.

I'm a transplanted American on the other side of the globe.

How I got my "Wiki handle" ... around the same time I came on board with Wikipedia, I'd been looking at Iceland Air's website a lot to get some flight information, and I found it so cute what the airline kept flashing on the screen in the few seconds between my making a request for flight information and when it would arrive: "Augnablik: that means just a second in Icelandic, literally 'blink of an eye.'" That's my only connection to Iceland, if you can call it that!

I've done a lot of proofreading and editing over my life, though I identify more as an educator, instructional designer, and writer. But I'm one of those picky people who react to egregiously awful grammar, punctuation, and spelling — as well as lack of clarity and coherence — the same way as if I heard nails screeching down a chalkboard.

Tip of the day...
