Once upon a time, I went to Tulakes Elementary school, smack dab in the middle of Lyrewood Lane (a.k.a. L-Block) in Oklahoma City. Tulakes Elementary had a very big problem: a grammar problem. The problem being that the teachers were severely lacking in their teaching abilities, and the majority of the students had zero interest in learning anything about grammar. This lead to my trouble with most things grammar related until I began studying for the ACT and eventually got a 35 out of 36 on the English grammar section. I still have trouble with the usages of who and whom and a few tricky rules here and there, however my overall abilities with grammar usage are much improved. I believe that one can never learn enough about grammar, especially with all of the different styles of writing that exist in academia and journalism.
