Message (CZ:What's Your Message?)
there
Robert Thorpe, born in London in 1950, living in Esposende, Portugal. I have a degree in English from Peterhouse, Cambridge. For many years I worked as a teacher of the language, in Mâcon, France (at a lycée agricole); Mondovì, Italy; Beckenham, England; and finally in various locations in Portugal, where my wife is a primary school teacher. I can translate from the relevant languages as well as from German and Latin.
I came across Citizendium when I looked in Wikipedia for the latter's history. There, Rothorpe does mainly copyediting, though I have created a number of articles, including List of artworks known in English by a foreign title, which is virtually a solo effort. I am a nocturnal; and survived cancer in 2003: it did kill my voice, but then I am a Harpo Marx fan.
Gravitation versus Gravity Solar system
Hi Robert,
The CZ article link is the point, not spelling ease. The link to the article is the proper thing to do unless the article title is changed to 'gravity'. --Thomas Simmons 18:54, 5 November 2007 (CST)
