[spikesgirl58]

1. Can you diagram a sentence?

2. What word do you always spell wrong, no matter what?

3. What word always looks like it's spelled wrong to you but isn’t?

4. Do you have any little memory games when it comes to similar words, like principle and principal?

5. Was grammar something you enjoyed or detested in school?

1. It wasn't taught in our school, so I wouldn't have a clue.

2. I always have to think twice about vacuum and broccoli.

3. Fiery

4. I'm sure I have lots of them!

5. I enjoyed reading and writing, and absorbed grammar pretty easily. Let's not talk about math, though. *sigh*

1. Maybe if I tried REALLY hard. lol......

2. When it comes to typing I always seem to get some backward.
That always comes out taht. LOL......

3. Hmm, not sure. :o

4. None that I can think of off the top of my head. lol...

5. I wasn't a big fan of it no. :o
Hugs, Jon

1. Maybe? We were taught parts of speech, object/subject, etc but never that diagram thing.

2. I invariably spell 'volunteer" as "volutner" or something like that. And that's pathetic given that at the hospice office I type that word out many, many times in a session! (it seems to be a typing problem, actually, because I can write it perfectly well by hand)

3. Pretty much anything with ei/ie.

4. No, sadly. I wish I did!

5. We didn't get taught it much. I loved English, but it never got ruined by grammar.

1. Can you diagram a sentence? I think I would do okay.

2. What word do you always spell wrong, no matter what? Embarrass

3. What word always looks like it's spelled wrong to you but isn’t? There's a lot of them, can't think of any right now but it's strange.

4. Do you have any little memory games when it comes to similar words, like principle and principal? Nope

5. Was grammar something you enjoyed or detested in school? It was okay.

1. Can you diagram a sentence? But of course.

2. What word do you always spell wrong, no matter what? I don't misspell anything.

3. What word always looks like it's spelled wrong to you but isn’t? I'm a bit dyslexic, so ie/ei words often make me go side-eye for a moment.

4. Do you have any little memory games when it comes to similar words, like principle and principal? No.

5. Was grammar something you enjoyed or detested in school? I didn't like it. I learned grammar by reading books.
