People still diagram sentences? Or has diagramming made a comeback? When did this come about? Students often ask me if I diagrammed sentences "in the old days" and if I can show them how it was done. I accommodate them as best I can, although I last diagrammed a sentence as an English teacher in about 1964--except for tree diagrams, of course. Bill McCleary William J.
