As far as I am concerned, well, I don't actually know a lot about grammar. I gave up on it and flew by in English class based on the strength of my vocabulary and because I was still smarter than most of my classmates.
I just don't get the silly rules
at all.

Having read a lot, I can speak quite well, thankyouverymuch, but I would be hard-pressed to name most of the rules behind
why.
I still don't know what an infinitive is, and am studiously avoiding every opportunity to find out.
