User:Iph/Testboxes

IPH 2007-05-20

Hello. I am IPH, an abstract artist and retired information technologist. I live in east Hampshire, southern England. I have created some new pages, and added to many others; I also tidy up grammar, syntax, and typographical errors wherever I happen to see them.

Like many Wikipedians I am a bit of a polymath, with many interests. My Userboxes tab expresses some of these in customary Wiki form. My English tab gives some idea of my approach to writing in English. My linguistician tab preserves my article (suppressed by the linguisticians) setting out the reasons why linguisticians should desist from objecting to, and blocking use of, the term linguistician for their occupation (specialists in linguistics).
