Peter Sipes

I’m a linguist. Just ask me about syntax trees, and I’ll chew your ear off. I’m also a Latinist. As me about Latin, and I’ll chew your ear off. I’m not a professional Hellenist, but I do love Ancient Greek too. And out of all of this, I love to teach. There’s something about getting smart about a topic and breaking it down so that other people can understand it that gets me out of bed in the morning. Well, only in a metaphorical sense. My alarm is what literally wakes me.

Anyway. Teaching. I love making hard things accessible. That’s why I’ve got the Latin stuff up at my webiste (www.pluteopleno.com). That’s what I do the Open Source Classics. Isn’t it lucky I know how to make a book? I try to make books that don’t exist but would be cool to have.

I also love baseball, but no one is willing to pay me for that, so please buy my books instead.
