My name is Dan Howard. I live in Oceanside, California, with my wife and children. Grammar mistakes and misused English jump out at me like sour notes in a choir recital. I have an irritating habit of saying "bad English" to the television when a newscaster mangles a sentence. Somebody's got to play cop, for God's sake!
I was educated in Pacific Palisades, California, and attended local community college and UCLA. I also went to Emerson College, a teacher training college in England. I have been employed as a writer for several Hollywood entertainment periodicals, taught music at Pepperdine University (Malibu campus), and have worked in technical sales for the last twenty years.
