DD: Noam is two years older than I. Fortunately I graduated from High 
School about four years before he formed his ideas about grammar, 
foisted them off to be abused, misused, and confused. Sigh, I am off 
to reread, "Rex Barks, Diagramming Sentences Made Easy," Phyllis 
Davenport's entertaining, edifying, and educating pamphlet. Wait, 
there's the Henle Latin Grammar text. ISBN 0829401121, paragraphs 
1005 -1017 for diagramming.
