this reminds me of a news clip i saw on a blooper show or something many years ago. the newscaster had mentioned that, "two cows have been missing from [whomever's] farm... their names are apparently 'black' and 'gus'... so if you find any cows that answer to those names... oh, wait... [laughter] they're black ANGUS cows."Scalywag said:In the lost and found section of the local newspaper:
Found: cow (brown and white) on XXXXX road.
how the hell does one lose a cow? it's not like this road is dotted with cattle ranches.

this is what happens when people READ news instead of do actual journalism.

My older brother had a bunch of animals; a goat, a horse, a donkey, dogs, cats, and 2 rabbits. So one morning he went out to feed everyone. Fed the horse, and donkey, fed the goat, fed the cattle. Came in and listed off everything to my sister in law, who looked at him and said, "um, we don't have any cattle." The neighbor's had gotten loose again and were all hanging out at my brother's house. But his hospitality was impeccable.Scalywag said:In the lost and found section of the local newspaper:

i know this is way off topic but you made me think of something that i've never been able to reason out on my own... what, exactly, is a dangling modifier???Eilan said:Back when I was teaching Freshman Comp, I had a list of what I called "student gems."
--One student mentioned "coma splices."

Dangling/misplaced modifiers seem to modify the wrong word in a sentence or no word at all.EJFan said:i know this is way off topic but you made me think of something that i've never been able to reason out on my own... what, exactly, is a dangling modifier???
