Hi. My username comes from the American sycamore tree.
I am a male, living in the United States. I am an English spelling reformist, leftist, and amateur phonetician. I advocate software freedom and some of my interests are linguistics, phonetics, the free software movement, and socialism. I live in the United States, but I am not jingoistic about it. I am angered by the atrocities and crimes against humanity committed by George W. Bush.
