I'm an undergraduate in computer science at the University of Tennessee. I enjoy using my collection of Macintoshes and Windows/Linux PCs. I speak French fluently, and have been studying it since 2003. I've been studying Spanish on and off over the years, and studied Japanese consistently from mid-2006 to mid-2008. I'd like to learn Norwegian and Russian, and keep practicing my other languages. I also program in C and C++, and more recently C#, Java, and shell.

As you can probably tell, language is my single greatest love in life, aside from programming.

I'm here for the proofreading. My written style consists of a nasty hodgepodge of British and American English, taken primarily from two sources: reading computer and other books published in Britain, and watching BBC America on occasion. I prefer Commonwealth spelling, but to be honest it takes a bit of conscious effort to use it. (That's what being American gives you, I guess.)
