Yesterday I got a nice e-mail message from a professor who wants her students to read my blog and improve themselves. Excellent idea! She suggested that I look to her students’ blogs if I needed a sample Criminal Sentence. I found one within a minute, and since I dislike misplaced modifiers, I thought I would highlight this sentence.
“The only source I could find online that stated anything about their relationship was the Cromwell Association.”
The “source”—not “online”—states something. Just rearrange it and it’s fixed:
“I could find only one online source that stated anything about their relationship: the Cromwell Association.”
