(I've also studied Hebrew, ancient Greek, and -- as a small child -- French, but I doubt that my knowledge of any of them is sufficient to help Wikipedia.

Hi there
My name is
I'm working on some grammar articles:

Latin grammar is influential enough that each kind of use of each Latin grammatical case has received its own individual technical name, which may not be the case in other inflected languages.
I'm also working on User:Schoen/The world, the flesh, and the devil.
I would really like to do an article on Vegetarian literature or Literature of vegetarianism or just plain History of vegetarianism. There are some useful secondary sources on this topic including the catalogues of a few antiquarian bookdealers who specialize in vegetarian literature.
