So, you were able to pass junior high school literature class, then?
Not sure what you're driving at. Please be so kind as to explain your meaning more fully.

Sounds like he’s referring to folks like Old Ben who — sometimes — let the Classics Illustrated take the place of actually reading the book.
Moby Dick, I did read. It’s a great story.

Please refer to Mr. Lurkin's post #10. Perhaps some of us just ran with a slower crowd. Although, I didn't stumble upon the value of Classics Illustrated until my college years.

I think they are implying that you have strayed into the weeds of misplaced modifiers. If you move “off the coast of Hawaii” to a position after “find,” you’ll be fine. Moby Dick reliably cannot be placed off the coast of Hawaii. sd (recovering English teacher)
