*iz jealous* I still recall a middle-school grammar class taught by Mrs Soucey (one of my all-time favorite teachers), and staring blankly while everyone else discussed...whatever they were discussing. the terms were all greek to me and yet I'd attended every single class previously. It was very much like how I was in math classes, but I was used to being an A-student in English, so it was humbling to say the least. I recently took a pre-algerbra class in college again and was quite good at it (decades on) so maybe if I retook grammar I'd also do well now, but that one class made me think that I'm "no good" at grammar and I never thought to really pursue it.

When you say "escaped" btw do you mean as in "thank god I'm free at last" or "call the authorities I've been let lose on an unsuspecting public and am out of control!"
