Thanks. It seemed so easy back when I was in school and writing every day. The inter-net is really good for brushing up writing skills. Believe it or not, I used to think that diagraming sentences was fun. I was better at it than the English teacher because I had so many years of Latin.

Impressive.

I sometimes find grammar interesting, but I utterly despised diagramming sentences. I am VERY glad I have not had to do any of that crap since coming to college. It does help see the structure of things, but the true benefit compared to just simply reading a book or something about its structure really is not that great, for me at least.
