I can relate to the grammatically sensitive ears. Certain things just hurt! I didn’t grow up diagramming, but realized what a useful tool it could be when I was teaching the boys. Latin was my grammar teacher—I loved the order and beauty. Thank you for stopping by!

As an author and a retired English teacher, I agree that a smattering of grammar is helpful for every student. As for me, I am a “diagramming addict” who thinks it is sheer fun to diagram sentences from St. Paul’s epistles. If people learned to do simple diagramming, they would not make mistakes such as “Would you like to go shopping with Rachel and I?” and “Who are you going to give that sundae to?” Both those sentences grate on my grammatically sensitive ears.
