- Daily Grammar
Daily Grammar is the brainchild of Pete Peterson, former Executive Vice
President of Word Perfect. Pete wanted to find a way to easily teach grammar
to those in need of lessons. In order to fulfill his wish, Pete sought out the

and quizzes. Mr. Johanson has dedicated over thirty years of his life
preparing children for college and professional settings by teaching English
classes in both high school and junior high schools. Description from site.
