His name is Paul Brians.
His collection of common errors and confusables in English is at
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html#errors
Visit that site, and I predict that it will explain at least one mystery that has tickled your brain. Do you ever wonder whether you should write "among the three children" or "between the three children"? Yes, you could consult your dictionary. But if you go to Brians Errors, you stand a good chance of wasting glorious minutes among hundreds of other linguistic questions.
Now here is mine. I wonder why Paul Brians did not title the page "Brians's Errors."
