About Me

i like correcting people's spelling errors and grammar. i like making oblique references and allusions. i hate it when people use words like "irregardless", "addicting" instead of addictive, others that aren't coming to me.There was more to this "about me", but it seems like these grammar things are the only consistent personal details I continue to want to share.
