About

Language, translation, and communication are among my greatest interests, both personally and professionally. I appreciate being able to work with questions of language, both large and small - morphology, syntax, orthography, semantics, etc. - an activity which requires constant consideration and deliberation, this being the vital backbone of any clear, not to say succesful, communication with a given reader. This aspect applies to web content handling and search evaluation, as well, another great interest of mine, which I regard, despite the obvious differences, as the modern, more dynamic equivalent of working with questions of communication on the printed page.
