angela in ohio Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I thought that sentence looked familiar! I read Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog a few years ago. Great article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen in NS Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Fun! I read another of her articles once. I think it compared a sentence of Sarah Palin's to one of Barack Obama. Or something like that. Very interesting - I love diagraming!! And I just reserved the book from my library. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I totally agree with this part: Probably the best way to learn the technicalities of language and usage is not to diagram but simply to read books that are full of good sentences. Our observant brains will soak up the rules. It is the surest route to becoming a better writer — as opposed to merely a grammatically correct writer.
