I was born in Salisbury, England, but had no hand in the article about it. I have lived and worked in London, Paris, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore. I now live in Bristol


I have recently been reading many articles on Chinese topics and making grammatical corrections to them. I would like to make it clear that I have the greatest admiration for anybody whose first language is Chinese who can even begin to write an encyclopedia article in English. When I use the phrase 'obvious grammatical errors' I mean 'obvious to a native speaker'. Such is human language that the reason why they are errors can be as deeply mysterious to the native speaker as the non-native.


I am developing a pet hate: apparent references to Nineteenth Century Psychology and the like which appear to promise a detailed and specialist article but are in fact two references to general articles which have no overlap and offer no enlightenment whatever about the promised subject.
