Larry Paros

Larry (Lawrence) Paros is a writer, teacher, lecturer, and professional ne'er-do-well. He is also a character featured in "In So Many Words." Columns from the website have appeared internationally and featured weekly in the Huffington Post. They will soon be available for the first time as EBooks in hopes of reaching an even larger audience.

Larry’s other published works range from education and etymology to children's books. Included among them are: The Great American Cliché, A Word with You America, The Erotic Tongue, Bawdy Language, and Smashcaps.

He has also been an op-ed page columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and a commentator on KUOW-FM, the NPR affiliate in Seattle. As a filmmaker he produced and directed "The Journey," the story of an immigrant's trek to America and "Walk Right In," the story of the other Yale.

His evil twin has been a master teacher whose work in alternative education has received national recognition; and a neuroscientist who helped design and market a unique device for the treatment of stress.
