Hi, I'm Pierce.
Years ago, after attempting to look up in a dictionary how to spell the word 'guarantee', I said; "If I do not know how to spell the word g'Arantee', then this alphabetical-paper-dictionary-method is useless!"
To this day I can not spell 'guarantee' [what would I do without spell check!]. I am grateful to Wikipedia because it has opened up the doors to information that "I didn't know I didn't know." When reading an article with complex ideas and assumed knowledge, I click links and references. I expand my horizon on a subject without fear of wasting my time trying to look up words I don't know how to spell. It makes learning fun.
I can be happily lost here on Wikipedia for hours. It is a pleasure to contribute.
