My wife's been a scopist transcribing court records for over 40 years now. She has an absolutely amazing vocabulary.. nearly every job I listen to her rants of how professional, trained lawyers can't use the proper kings English even with a 12 year degree.. She OFTEN uses the notation (sic)
I have a good vocabulary I like to think even though my powers to diagram sentences has probably weakened over the past 50 or so years..
It's been a little bit since the last time anyone ever asked me to diagram a sentence.. I used to be good at it. English and grammar were just a few of the subjects I could breeze through in school.. Mathematics was never among those subjects I could handle..In fact I'm in favor of shooting people who like math..
