If I were in charge of the world, everyone would have to diagram sentences for at least a semester. Of course, many people have expressed their gratitude that I'm not in charge of the world.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Our wings are not tired.

Now tagless for your comfort.
sumi, do you have some tape or a safety pin to secure the ace bandage? Have you taken any painkillers of the anti-inflammatory variety?

Ouch, Sumi.
My new TV comes today! Whoot!
Maybe I should think about cleaning around here. Oh, and crap - do I have to tip? I don't have any cash, I don't think. Well, I won't have them set it up or anything.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I've never diagrammed a sentence, though I'm vaguely aware of how it's done.
And yet I make a living as an editor. Revel in the irony.
The return of grammar:
I'm earwormed with "SexyBack," only now it's "I'm bringing grammar back...."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sumi, can you use safety pins on the bandage? I find stick to itself Ace bandages disappointing even when new.

I (born 1972) have never diagrammed a sentence. I know what it is from reading Laura Ingalls Wilder, though.
flea is almost me. I was born in 1973, and was so fascinated by the sentance diagramming in Laura Ingalls Wilder that I actually got a turn of the century textbook and diagrammed on my own time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I never diagrammed a sentence, either, and I did learn some grammar in Spanish class that had never been covered in English. The really funny thing in the more advanced Spanish classes was the kids who were native speakers (or, at least, had learned it at home) with bad grammar arguing with the teacher. It was the equivalent of a kid arguing that "me and her went to the store" must be right, because that's how they've always said it.
ION, I don't feel good! I came to work because I don't think I'm actually sick, but I feel yucky in my tummy and have a headache. Bah.

I am at work. I guess, it'll be more cold packs for me tonight.
