I just hate it when people use the verb "smell" instead of the proper intransitive verb "stink".....:)

You must have diagrammed lots of sentences when you were a kid :)

Not really, but I do have a dear Republican friend who is affectionately known as "The Genteel Grammarian".
She keeps all of us who post in our "home group" on our toes.
If I didn't correct that, she'd surely deprive me of my raspberry cordials and toast points.
[and possibly slap me upside the head, as well]...:))

Left to my own linguistic devices, I sound like a typical hillbilly...dangling participles and all....LOL!
