Oh, diagramming! I LOVE diagramming! :-)

Who diagrammed? Must be someone older or was homeschooled??!! Your mother another grammar geek!

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.

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