    Margaret H. Laing

    I moved to Chicago from the south suburbs in 1986. I have diverse interests, but I love writing about what I'm interested in. Whether it's a personal interest or part of my career, the correct words to get the idea across are important to me. I love words and languages -- French and Scottish words enrich my American English. My career has included years as a journalist and years working in museums, and the two phases were united by telling stories. I'm serious about words and stories. So here I am, ready to tell stories about words and their languages.
