I am proud to say I am 23 years old and I can diagram a sentence.
The only reason why I keep this knowledge handy is so I can teach it to youngsters some day
I really wouldn't want to go into teaching without knowing the basics of grammar, and so I'm glad I have (mostly) a good grasp of the essentials.
