Hello, Wikipedia. I am relatively new around here.

I have a variety of interests, including culture, religion, philosophy, physics, and technology. I am a photographer (check out [http://blog.shankbone.org/2008/12/11/wikipedia-editors-falling-in-love--take-a-camera.aspx this] interesting blog post about how photography can increase readership on Wikipedia). I have a passion for music, and thoroughly enjoy playing the piano.

Precise language must be used to effectively convey a concept; it bothers me to see statements which employ ambiguous terms. Sometimes the use of unclear terms can be an honest mistake, but other times they can be used in a deceptive context. When gone unnoticed, imprecise language can unconsciously enslave academic communities, religious adherents, investors, or even a population at large.
