Hello, Wiki world.
I'm a transplanted American on the other side of the globe.
How I got my "Wiki handle" ... around the same time I came on board with Wikipedia, I'd been looking at Iceland Air's website a lot to get some flight information, and I found it so cute what the airline kept flashing on the screen in the few seconds between my making a request for flight information and when it would arrive: "Augnablik: that means just a second in Icelandic, literally 'blink of an eye.'" That's my only connection to Iceland, if you can call it that!
I've done a lot of proofreading and editing over my life, though I identify more as an educator, instructional designer, and writer. But I'm one of those picky people who react to egregiously awful grammar, punctuation, and spelling — as well as lack of clarity and coherence — the same way as if I heard nails screeching down a chalkboard.

You can jump to the search box from anywhere on a page, which is especially useful on long articles, so you do not have to scroll up to get to it. To do this, press ⇧ Shift+Alt+F (this works on most systems). The F stands for "find" or "focus". For a search box in which the cursor is already focused, use www – – To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}
