(Redirected from User:DavidPKendal)

I write and edit pages about all sorts, depending on what catches my interest at any particular time. I also have good knowledge of the IPA and phonetics, so I fix bad pronunciations when I see them.

Originally from a village near Clitheroe in the United Kingdom, I now live in Berlin, Germany. I also spent some time in San Francisco, California and in Catania, Sicily.

See the Babel box to the right.

I also used to be able to speak passable French, and more recently could still read it quite well, but it's now been too long since I learned, with too much German crammed into my head since then.
