I hear the word whenever being used instead of when (when recounting what happened at one point in time). Also, I’ll bet diagraming sentences is a lost art.

Ha Ha! One of my ex's used to complain about my grammar. I invariably responded, "language is a living thing evolving and grammar is mostly a suggestion."
Boo, so petty. Though I love language, what I love about it is that, like climate, it changes. And, I don’t mean “the rules”. “Rule people” end up winning the rule game and losing the influence game. This article is a case in point.
*Runs to check every headline I have ever written 😳
Honestly, I don't think I would have caught that on my own 😂 We all have our grammatical quirks - I recently pinned a Substack on acronyms, which is a 'passion' of mine 😉
Then again, maybe that guy owns a cow named, 'Healthy'... 😁
"It made me melt down faster than one of Joe Biden’s mint chocolate chip ice cream cones after Corn Pop knocks it onto the pavement in July." HAHAHa. Oh boy, I am in trouble. Feel free to leave me notes in the comments. I am a fast learner :) Or just don't look over here....*blushes.
It seems Brits are more conservative regarding language. I once got my paws on the «style book» of a major British newspaper. It contained a quite long list of words titled «This is not a verb». :)
Or option 3. " I disagree with what you are saying"
But the most likely interpretations are -
4. " I think you are stupid because I disagree with you".
5. " Can you say again please and use newspeak words like meeeh and nooooah and EVERY word that ends in 'ing' , you have to pronounce as 'ee', drop the G. "
So like say ' meaning' but like I do " meanee'.
Get it? Then someone might understand you Samantha!😡
I try to be so careful, because bad grammar loses me when I read. Typos I get, (oh gosh, now I am paranoid about writing to you) but 'they' have deliberately dumbed down everything. If it can be said in 3 words or less you will not lose your audience. Haha. Yeah, I don't want that audience. Ooongawa. To be fair, when you sign up for my Stack, you are warned there will be issues with run on sentences and so forth. I love my thesaurus!

YES!
Cool. I didn't discover You Tube until long after my kids were grown and out on their own.
Gluck, I loved that Lolly cartoon as a kid. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.
Or healthfully. It’s still an adverb, but is clearer because it’s closer to the way we speak.

Indubitablyyyy... 🎶
I was a professional editor/proofreader for many years. I am right there with you!

Will you edit my substacks? I don't know a dangling participle from a dangling modifier.
Like what are you talking about?
I shall rephrase in the pre- millennial speech-
1. " I like what you are talking about."
2. " I don't know what you are taking about"
Or option 3. " I disagree with what you are saying"
But the most likely interpretations are -
4. " I think you are stupid because I disagree with you".
5. " Can you say again please and use newspeak words like meeeh and nooooah and EVERY word that ends in 'ing' , you have to pronounce as 'ee', drop the G. "
So like say ' meaning' but like I do " meanee'.

You are such a hater!😁
