Hi! I'm Velho (Portuguese for old man and, I am told, Finnish for wizard)
 * If you want to say my name, read the e as in bed, the lh as Spanish ll or Italian gli, and the o as in to or do; put the stress on the first syllable. You'll end up with something like that: ['vu].

I am not really that old. I'm younger than Uma Thurman, even if older than Michael Adams. But I feel I should be younger, and I'm getting older. I can't keep my duties. That's akrasia.

I've been writing mostly on philosophy of law, ethics, normativity, philosophy of language, linguistics, chess and on subjects related to Portugal. Now and then, I edit some articles on insects.

Some of my favourite (which doesn't necessarily mean good) contributions:
 * Analogy
 * Norm (philosophy)
 * Interpretivism
 * António Castanheira Neves
 * Robert Alexy
 * Ronald Dworkin
 * Laws without ethical content
 * Brute fact
 * Convention (norm)
 * Finite verb
 * Interjection
 * Portuguese grammar
 * Pro-sentence
 * Translating "law" to other European languages (even if it was a candidate for deletion...)
 * Social construction
