I loved diagramming sentences. I still do it too, in my head. It helps the sentence make sense.
Another one used incorrectly on here very much is advise and advice. When I give you advice, I advise you. Advice is the noun and advise is a verb. Do kids know anything about that anymore? How you pronounce them is strange, too. Advice has the ice in it and it sounds like ice. But advise sounds like it has a "z" in it.
