1. I edit obsessively (so don't put me on your Alert list unless you love spam).
2. I use mainly British English
3. As for my motive in writing (and I put it here to remind myself), let me quote George Orwell: "Aesthetic Enthusiasm. Perception of beauty...in words and their right arrangement. Pleasure in the impact of one sound on another, in the firmness of good prose, or the rhythm of a good story." That, in the main, is it.
