Welcome
to Sir Kraab's World!
| Who is Sir Kraab? |
Sir
Kraab is an ambassador of peace, justice, generosity, and good
grammar.
Sir Kraab
is also an anagram for my name. To find some fabulous anagrams
for your own name, check out Wordsmith.org. |
| How can I help to realize Sir Kraab's dream of a just and
funky world for all? |
Work for a
strong and united labor
movement. Fight racism every day. Vote your conscience,
not your pocketbook. Give money to battered women's shelters.
If you're gay, come out; if you're not, come out as a supporter
of gay rights.
Read Lynda Barry and worship her. Also Molly Ivins. Do not
suffer fools gladly but do try to dispel their ignorance. |
| Does
Sir Kraab know how to make homemade Kahlua? |
She does. Follow her mother's recipe and
you will too.
|
| Sir Kraab must drive a fabulous Kraabmobile, right? |
Right. Well,
she used to, but it broke. It was an '85 Chevy Caprice
Classic in a shade Sir Kraab's sister describes as "duck
shit green," with
a matching plush interior and a simply glorious paint job by
Sir Kraab herself. Someday you'll be able to see a photo of
it, but Sir Kraab hasn't gotten around to scanning it yet. |
| Is there any chance Sir Kraab overuses the word fabulous? |
No. |
| Where is the most fabulous place on earth? |
The Mystery Spot. |
2 Steps to
Better Grammar
1. Get a copy of Prentice Hall's Handbook for Writers and use it. It's
simply the best grammar book/writing manual I've found--yes,
better than Strunk & White.
2. Do yourself and the world a favor: Learn
the proper uses of quotation marks and apostrophes. Apostrophes make
words possessive, not plural. Quotation marks are for (surprise!) quotations
and certain types of titles, not emphasis.
That's it! Good grammar is easier than you thought. |
