About Me
[edit]Wikipedia contributor since October 2011.
I add and edit content primarily in my areas of interest but also can't resist making minor edits to pages I happen to be reading.
I will stop reading a page and make corrections for:
- a grammatical mistakes,
- spleling erorrs,
- and,, punctuation!!!
I'm an advocate of the Oxford comma but know Wikipedia is a lost cause on that topic. I edit for it only to clear up ambiguities, mostly with compound lists.
I actively edit for gender-neutral, inclusive, destigmatizing, and person-first language.
I also edit for some of my linguistic pet peeves, such as "centers around." You can "center on" or "revolve around" but you can't "center around." That's a contradiction. I will stop and edit when I see it.
And don't get me started on "hot water heaters." Why would you need to heat hot water? It's simply a water heater. Thank you.
