From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modus Vivendi is Latin for method of living, but appeals to the present author because it's the only foreign phrase he convinced an attentive but language-shy
listener to learn and adopt (he used modus operandi when modus vivendi would have been more appropriate) during his time as a graduate student at an American university.
In any event, I am a Canadian former academic now working
in high technology, with advanced training in science, and
knowledge of several foreign languages.
I am a long-term observer of Canadian politics, mystery
novels, and a few other things, and I try to correct obvious
errors I observe in those areas.
I have been on the internet since 1989, and I may be
available if events so develop in the future to play
a technical role in Wikipedia.
Here are a few things I have contributed to Wikipedia
