ok.
I guess something like this is a good example of a dangling participle..
"Eating like a hungry hippo, the
pancakes disappeared from my
plate within seconds."

Lol yes. The dangling preposition in my sentence was "from". Apparently, it's acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition. smiley

Omg you're hilarious! cheesy We have to listen to Highlife, or something equally retro and hipster. Or something classical and really pretentious like opera. YES! grin

LET'S DO THIS!

btw,

Flummoxed

That's how I feel about some of the responses on this thread....

I'll never forget my first year of Uni, everyone was clowning around in the car park and I was laughing at their antics. I remember saying

"You guys are so GAY today"

Silence...you couldn hear a pin drop, then echo, all over the car park.

I had to explain that "Gay" was a word that meant Happy and Lively.
