[edit] About me

Hello. I live in the North of England. I have a varying Northern/Southern accent depending where I am. I spend about ⅔ of the year at Winchester College, in College... institution (It's really a boarding house, but as I've put myself down as a pedant I'll have to put the correct option...). I have been on Wikipedia since 6th January 2006, so my log entry informs me.

[edit] Topics of "expertise"

Pedantic grammar, grammar of languages, mainly cleaning up articles minorly. Books by Phillip Pullman, as well, and whichever band I'm currently in to. (see below).

For a fuller list, have a look at my contributions.

Who is Taundandchris?

[edit] Other stuff

I tend to get sucked into one particular band for a while. Right now, I'm on Pink Floyd. Before, I think it was Coldplay. (When's the next album, Chris?)
