Introduction	I'm a 50-something serial career changer most recently into volunteering as a docent for the National Park Service on the National Mall. My most recent degree is in information science (once known as library science). I've been a teacher, engineer, information tech person, manager, graduate student, and consultant, among other things. I've worked for a museum, private companies, the federal government, universities, school systems, and myself. Before volunteering, I processed a photographic collection for the National Building Museum and taught an advanced searching course for the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland.

Sponges and tongues are frequently misspelled. Is it because both are thirsty?

A memorable misspelling (another word frequently misspelled!): "The Velvet Tounge" (on the marque of a drive-in movie theater:)
