I'm half of a sister-and-brother bestselling writing and editing team, with over 5.2 million copies of our work in print. We’re the authors of many word-oriented books like New York Times bestseller You’re Saying It Wrong, That Doesn’t Mean What You Think It Means, and Awkword Moments, and we do a podcast cleverly (!) titled "You're Saying It Wrong" — about English, etymology, grammar, and language peeves — with NPR affiliate KMUW (https://www.npr.org/podcasts/642595029/you-re-saying-it-wrong) We’ve also compiled a series of bestselling quote books like Dance First, Think Later and It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done, as well as the page-a-day calendar The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said (now in its 26th year), and serve as grammar experts for CNBC.com. On the non-work side of things, I am a noir film and novel fiend, a bad joke aficionado and committer of truly deplorable puns, a collector and seller of pulp art prints, and am proud to say I was on Jeopardy (but, sadly, came in third – and only won a designer watch and a Steam-Vac.). You can find me on Twitter with Ross— @kandrpetras, Facebook — FB/kathy.petras or, for a collection of found humor, FB/unusually.stupid. Our website is www.kandrpetras.com.
