Fascinating! (And totally different from the Reed–Kellogg sentence diagramming from my elementary school, or tree structures in college.) Do you see the shapes and colors when you hear/speak/read/write?

I don't normally, but they are there with little effort. If a stranger walked up to me on the street and declared "a verb is a big red disc" or "a preposition is a green crescent" I would most likely agree and nod, feel these to be fundamentally correct statements.

I'm still mystified/fascinated by the little pink rectangular conjunctions and the gold keyhole interjections. I remember trying to glean meaning about these selections on a deeper level for far too long in elementary school.

I always thought interjection looked like a exclamation point
