AAAAH! She said (Oh, treasured sentence-diagramming, that arcane and forgotten art.)!
I was introduced to sentence diagramming one week in grade 7 or 8. It made no sense then, and has made no more sense to me since. As i'm learning more about formal linguistics, i finally see its use, but still find it baffling, muddying, and incomprehensible, though i get the concept. *shudders*
P.S. Sorry that work has so interfered with our chatting. I will call this week. I miss talking regularly with you.
