When I was in high school, my English teachers skipped grammar. They said that we would pick up most of the rules simply by seeing them in action. For the most part, I think that is true: I still can't diagram a sentence, but I can pick out a problem when I see it. (The main problem I've encountered because of this has been learning other languages: the terms of the parts and functions of language are useful things to know.)"Some people have a way with words. Some no have way."
