I dunno, lonegael, but when I was transferred out of Public School into a private prep school for girls; I learned to love languages.

We were taught to diagram sentences, which helped in learning both Latin and French. It all fit in perfectly for me--English, Latin, and French......knowing the proponents of each english word, I was able to ken the same for the others......

I'm probably just weird..I love idiomatic phrases, and irregular verbs.

The word "To be" in all languages is irregular.

I always thought that fact amazingly profound--as is all of Humankind---unique and profound......theo
