Dangling participle? Would that be like "I threw my mother-in-law out the window a kiss." said in a Pennsylvania-Dutch accent, of course.

Is a dangling participle something extra in a though that needs to be removed? Like "a kiss" in your quote? WE wouldn't want to remove the kiss - depending on the mil. I'm not sure that's the proper example of a dp. It's a word that's supposed to - well, here it tis: n 1. dangling participle - a participle (usually at the beginning of a sentence) apparently modifying a word other than the word intended: e.g., `flying across the country' in `flying across the country the Rockies came into view'

Actually, 'you' is a personal pronoun. Other personal pronouns are 'I', 'they', and 'we'.

Or depending on the mil, we might want to leave off the "a kiss" and do what's left in the sentence. I'm not sure that's the proper example of a dp. It's a word that's supposed to - well, here it tis: n 1. dangling participle - a participle (usually at the beginning of a sentence) apparently modifying a word other than the word intended: e.g., `flying across the country' in `flying across the country the Rockies came into view' Hmm, might well be a dangling participle, somewhat of incomplete activity. The Rockies coming into view closes the dangling participle, almost bringing its energy to an end. While flying across the country is left open. Anyhow. I'm an adjective. Obtuse, currently.

Livin' large, ay? ;D I think dangling participle fits me: The sentence almost - but not quite makes sense.

Actually, 'you' is a personal pronoun. Other personal pronouns are 'I', 'they', and 'we'. I mean, is what you are a thing or a movement. ( I didn't intend to start a lesson in grammar/syntax, which is something, up, with which I will not put.)

I suggest that all there is, is a movement, and you are that. Truth truthin. God Godding. Life lifeing. Existence being. Ice cubes dropping into a cup at Micky D's.
