Give the poor students more credit than that. If you asked them to define a "dangling participle", most of the answers would probably include something about "oratorio".

No doubt!

Does this contribute to the fact that most of them go around with the pants so low you can see their split infinitives, if not their dangling participles?

I would think they would associate it with a hanging chad.
