Jerry at work did it ... I'm on a team that was working on a purpose statement and I felt like one of the participial phrases was not properly placed, so I was mentally diagramming it and very timidly mentioned to the team that it might not be saying what we wanted it to say. And this is what I got!
It was actually studying Greek that made me really understand the English language -- I know I diagrammed sentences in Jr. High when I homeschooled, but that stinkin' Greek was brutal until I understood grammar.
Lover of my husband, kids, travel, dogs, mountains, photography, reading, movies, gardening, white chocolate mochas, theology, history, languages and cooking. Most importantly, I'm learning more and more how to be a lover of my Lord and His people.

Oh, diagramming! I LOVE diagramming! :-)
Who diagrammed? Must be someone older or was homeschooled??!! Your mother another grammar geek!

I mentally diagram too. I just don't think I do it right.
