    Default View requested diagrams on Youtube

    On different occasions I have been asked on this forum to supply a Reed-Kellogg diagram for some sentence.
    I am always glad to do that, but there is no very convenient way that I know of to diagram while using a keyboard.
    The Reed-Kellogg diagramming system works beautifully and easily on a blackboard. It occurred to me that I could more easily make a very short video of the making of the diagram requested and then post it on my Youtube channel, giving the link here. That would also give me a chance to show various options.

    Does anybody see any problem with this?

    I am thinking of beginning with "All's well that ends well". Or "The gate swung shut".

    No problem at all- is there no software that does this easily? What about stuff like SenDraw? Reed-Kellog are actually fairly new to me- I went through school and taught for a couple of decades before I came across them.

    None that I know of. I can do it -- diagram online using a keyboard, but it is awkward and difficult.
    On a chalkboard it is easy, quick, and fun.
    I'll try it and see what happens.
    Thanks.

    R-K as such never took off in the UK. Even in the USA it had gone out of fashion before your time.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
