User:Mrcolj

I love the Wikipedia®. Most of my edits are minor grammatical edits, since I'm a grammar freak (and one of the few remaining living Latin Teachers!) I'm also pretty serious about NPOV.

Today is this user's WikiBirthday. This user has been on Wikipedia for 20 years.

During the day, I run an intellectual property law firm. In the past I've been President of a small college; developed software for Facebook, eBay and Twitter; am a Quora Top Writer and have been published in Forbes and Slate. More about me at colinandbethany.com and at colinjensen.com.
