Fifty lashes for Sears. Their new Home Center catalog features this ghastly sentence on page 75: "Oval pool (C) has Trimline supports that only extends 9" from the sidewall." This catalog writer has real talent: a subject-verb agreement error and a misplaced modifier in one short sentence! Although the Web site corrects the agreement problem, it keeps the misplaced modifier. I saved the catalog for Querida. It will be a good target for her righteous anger at grammaticaliens.
