Meet the Cast
Pete’s Assistant
“Pete’s assistant & retired Faber professor”
Professor Wiggins is Pete’s assistant. He is a retired English professor from Faber University. He is 91 years old, extremely kind, and very old fashioned. He is also terrible with technology, forgets names constantly, and always mispronounces them too. He is camera shy….
Celebrity
“World-famous Chaweenie & international celebrity”
Scoopy is a world famous Chaweenie and international celebrity. He can talk — sort of. He speaks D2 English, also known as “Doggie 2 English”. His English is not very good. He gets words wrong, forgets things, and gets confused easily. Scoopy is small so he loves Napoleon….
Mascot
“The official mascot of Grammar”
Yurmama is the official mascot of Grammar. She is a Tyrannosaurus Rex who lived during the Late Cretaceous period — a time when English was not very well developed. In fact, when she and Yurdady started having children, nobody could figure out which one was…
Mascot
“The official mascot of Literature”
Yurdady is the official mascot of Literature. Also a Tyrannosaurus Rex from the Late Cretaceous period. When the children arrived, the only other thing anyone could say with confidence was “yur daddy.” He accepted this. Yurdady loves stories. This makes sense ….
partner
“Pete’s silent business partner”
Business Cat is Pete’s silent business partner. Nobody knows exactly what he does, but he always looks busy. He wears a tie. He takes calls. He has conversations and spreadsheets. He never explains himself. Business Cat studied at a very prestigious university. He will not tell you which one…
guest
“The cosmic mystery guest”
Baby Y is Pete’s mysterious guest…from a galaxy far, far away. He doesn’t speak standard English; instead, he communicates using highly scrambled, backward grammatical structures (e.g., ‘To learn English, ready you are?’). Your job is to instantly translate his….
With ‘Edutainment English’ comes ‘special’ and even magical benefits…Here are just a few! :
As an Edutainment English Student, you get free access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to the magical mystery President Predicto Crystal Ball. WHO is this ‘magical’ person you ask? YOU figure it out! You can ask him anything. Who is going to win the big game? What is happening in world affairs? How do you handle a problem with your spouse? President Predicto has answers. Results may vary.
Sometimes life is difficult. And sometimes the truth is a little hard to look at. If you need a break from reality, Pete has a special pair of Rose Colored Glasses. (Copyright 2026 Peteslab.com!) Put them on and suddenly everything looks a little brighter. Pete may even sing the La La La La La Song for you. It does not solve anything. But it helps. Sometimes.
Good grammar builds clear communication, strong confidence, and better English. Pay attention to the details, because even small grammar mistakes can completely change the meaning of what you want to say. The Grammar Hammer is always watching.
