Since I’ve begun teaching middle school, my intellectual life has taken a dramatic turn “back to the basics”, as they say. Well, it certainly has been a turn for the better because through such turning back, we can, ultimately, move much farther forward. Eugene Moutoux is a language professor…. (somewhere) and he has written several books on sentence diagramming–among other things.
So the main reason I’m posting this is because he has an awesome mustache. AND I thought it time to share my grammatical joys with my friends. So, just as we all enjoy taking time to re-read fairy tales and poems from childhood, perhaps you’d be interested in checking out Eugene’s amazing diagramming from basic sentences such as: The people should laugh. to the intricacies of the Gettysburg Address.
He’s from Kentucky and he also diagrams in German.
