Hi! My main interests are European historical linguistics and American political history. I'm especially interested in the Progressive Era and the 1960s. I consider myself a liberal Democrat, and align myself with historical figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Hubert H. Humphrey. I am quite a bit more active on Wiktionary.
