Default Does any body really sail here or just type all day?

I skipped a week last month when we were in the BVIs.

But you are dangling your modifier now? Or your participle? ;-)

Did you run into Capt. Neal while you were there?

Wow! I thought you could only dangle a participle... :-)
I guess in a.s.a you can dangle just about anything you please...


Yep, lots of dangling modifiers/participles here - sometimes makes for
humorous interpretations as Jon pointed out.
Most of us do it, we dangle modifiers like they're Michael Jackson's kids
out a window.

No, we hung out at nice anchorages and had dinner at fine restaurants.
