Here are some valuable links to some palces you can learn about dangling modifiers. I think that there is some really great info and thought I'd share the links as they might help someone else out here in the forum.

I can't sit and explain what a dangling modifier is so please don't ask me to. :p

Well yeah hope these few links help.

Dangling modifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_modifier)

Dangling Modifiers (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_dangmod.html) - this one if you take a good look around the site you should find plenty of other information as well.

Have fun.

I often find myself passing up reviews on stories, annoyed by many dangling modifiers. ;)

I loved those links. The Chinese poem of 92 'shi's was also pretty good:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion-Eating_Poet_in_the_Stone_Den
