Ah, yes. Well, very likely the writer you complain about is the product of the same educational system about which so many of us have concerns. Then again, that writer may have had a reasonably good education, but still have some difficulty recalling each and every time he writes that participles should be left dangling, nor auxiliary verbs separated from the verbs they modify -- or, so says my English major spouse as he cheerfully red pencils my writing for me. (One of us has a Ph.D. -- care to guess which one?)

I don't know if you saw my follow-up post to myself (post # 30). I was wrong about one of my accusations and hung my head in shame. I am not a grammar expert, really. But, I do know *some* things and when I see them, I get aggravated. I wonder if your spouse will tell me if the word "who" should have been used instead of "that" in that article. The he might want to correct all the mistakes I probably made in this paragraph, lol!
