Blaming this shortcoming on a lack of anything useful to say, he instead spends his time fixing [[typo]]s, [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|copyediting]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting|sorting the odd stub]], monitoring [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion|Votes for Deletion]] for [[Wikipedia:Vanity page|vanity articles]] such as this one, and, rarely, [[Wikipedia:RC patrol|patrolling]] [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]]. (Obviously, he hasn't done a good enough job on the last, since this page has only been [[Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress|vandalized]] once, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Korath&oldid=8834142 albeit creatively].) In the past, he was active copyediting and properly formatting [[Current events]], but has mostly given this up as a lost cause. |

Korath was first attracted to Wikipedia because typographical errors and poor grammar make his [[blood pressure]] soar. Misuse of the [[comma (punctuation)|comma]] and [[apostrophe (mark)|apostrophe]]—in particular, confusion between ''its'' and ''it's''—especially annoys him. The ability to correct these is a great relief, and typo fixes still form the bulk of his [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Korath&hideminor=0&namespace=0 main namespace edits]. However, he acknowledges that he is prone to spelling errors himself, and doesn't mind being corrected. |

Besides copyediting and talking about himself in the [[third person]], Korath also enjoys his privacy. The lack of gratuitous ''u's'' in his spelling forces him to confess to being [[American]]. He only admits that he is male because [[singular they|singular ''they'']] is an abomination; [[neologism]]s such as [[sie and hir|''sie'' and ''hir'']] are unacceptable; repetitive constructions such as ''s/he'', ''he/she'', and ''he or she'' are awkward; and most people, including himself, are too lazy to circumlocute the issue properly. [[Sapir-Whorf]] not withstanding, he maintains that the only correct pronoun for a person of unknown gender in English is ''he''. |
