i adore breaking down words. when i was in h.s. my english class studied latin and greek roots,prefixes,suffixes,etc. i knew how to take almost any word imported from latin/greek and figure out what it meant(which were our tests on the material). it was one of my favorite things ever in school besides science classes. that led me to discover my favorite thing later in college: linguistics. i was thinking about going into ai for a minute...fascinating. i would always ask for a copy of the o. e.d. for a present (the multi volume one). never got it though.i literally just ordered latin/greek root books from amazon because i was so pissed i didn't save that one from h.s.
tl;dr yasss...i am excited to participate!
