About me
My assumed name is, as you might have guessed, Adam Restling. It was based on a semi-complex linguistic pun on my real name although, as it turns out, rest is actually incorrect. Whoops. Anyway, I love linguistics, fiction, mythology, and so the various ways any of them interplay in media and entertainment. I am not fluent in anything but English, but I strive to take what I do know, and the many (free/available) resources at my disposal, to be as accurate as possible. As I have stated in several posts, the finer points of grammar and sentence structure may confound me sometimes, but I usually find little trouble in simpler things, such as words or verbs in isolation. Japanese is an especial interest of mine, language-wise, but I love a little of about everything.

I joined because I got tired of seeing some of the more salient mistakes go uncorrected. I try to be literate, thorough, and explanatory in all my posts, be it here or on Net forums. That way, even if someone doesn't quite agree with me, they can see clearly where I'm coming from. This literacy also spurs me to be as "elegant" as possible when I post, i.e. avoiding eyesore typos if I can... even if it means a few edits.

I hope to update this data more as time and circumstances permit. If you message me and I am slow to reply, hopefully you won't take offense. With the way *thangs* are these days, what I can do and the amount of my leisure are wildly erratic.
