Holy Run-On Batman!

I don't think they teach diagramming anymore. I took a class on grammar for "fun" (to help me with parts of speech to better my learning of foreign languages) and I was the only student who wasn't a non-trad who even knew what it was. I'd like to thank my crotchety english teachers from elementary and middle school for that skill.

I freaking love diagramming sentence, but then again, I'm a grammar nerd. I won't even attempt that beast of a sentence, though!

Maybe it is a Northern California educational thing that we learned it? I also am descended from an English teacher, so perhaps it is genetic. I had fun in my Cognitive Psych. class in the module on linguistics with the sentence diagramming and we made crazy trees.

Only on GC will people rah rah for diagramming.
