From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was born in 1988 in Odense, Denmark. I currently attend second year of Danish High School... it's horrifying, especially now with the exams on their way.

One thing that I'd greatly urge my fellow Wikipedians to do is start using those edit summaries. Some people remove whole paragraphs of cited text without giving any reason as to why. Stop doing that!

I regret having slacked off on my Spanish education, but I regret even more that German is such an unpopular language among students that I haven't been given education that's been anywhere near my level, that is, the level to which I understood the language by the time I entered High School (or the "gymnasium", as it's called in Danish). When I threw in the Babel, I was in doubt whether to mark as Basic or Intermediate German. =(
I personally think that I'm pretty competent at using English, but I often have troubles finding the right expressions to use. If you find that I make dubious linguistic constructions, or maybe mix formal and informal language, I'd be happy that you correct me (and tell me what else to use =)).

Before I signed up, I made a few edits 'anonymously'.
I also have an account on the Danish Wikipedia. I mostly intend it for correcting other people's grammar errors, but I have to say it's nice to do some stuff in my native language as well.

This is how I'd like my sig to be. But Wikipedia won't let me. =( I'm being restraaained. :´( See what troubles I've had here.
