Ugh, diagraming sentances
. We didn't learn it in school except for about 3 weeks in eighth grade, but my dad (the gramar enforcer)used to make me do it "for fun" from the time I was a little kid.
Now spelling . . . that's another story. I think I have a mental block on spelling. When I was in 6th grade, I was taking algebra, in 8th grade reading, in the able learners program, but . . . taking 5th grade spelling
and barely passing
. I don't know. I read a lot as a kid, too. I would devour any and all books I could get my hands on. Yet I couldn't spell.
I have a Master's Degree. I am getting a PhD. I still don't know how to spell.
Oh well. I don't think it will do that much harm in the long run
. Sometimes people make fun of me when my Matlab codes have consistent spelling mistakes, but that doesn't make my programs not run. Oh well. I like being the brunt of jokes
