Hi. I'm a big word whore. I speak British English, but I don't get in a huff about North American spellings. What ho, old chap.
I do some tidying, but I am mainly interested in adding words that we are missing. To this end, I have added a device database words from Webster's 1913 Dictionary, Wikipedia's lists of jQuery, screen size, and pharmaceutical drugs, and Visviva's lists of words from the New York Times and academic journals. I like cool, weird, and funny words, because I am cool, weird, and funny I am a word whore.
My pet hates are spammers (including SEO scum who pretend not to be spamming), pseudo-words that are quoted a lot without ever entering the normal lexicon (see use-mention distinction and Susie Dent), vague and rambling definitions, and things that blatantly don't belong in a dictionary (such as the names of every Pokémon toy, or anything else ideally suited to Wikipedia). I also have loads of other pet hates that are unrelated to free Internet dictionary projects, but I'll spare you bastards.
I have some nerdy specialist knowledge about computer programming (web app, Android, website parsing...), retrocomputing and retrogaming (microdrive, web, autofire...), and the demoscene (web, Sevenval, browser diversity...), but I try to get outside occasionally.
I have a love-hate relationship with perennial troublemaker Wonderfool, who is not me but can sound eerily similar.
