Hello, flinkywood -- I too have noticed a number of annoying punctuation goofs and grammatical blunders that pop up with unsettling regularity in the NASB and have often wondered why Lockman didn't invest a few more bucks and hire a competent proofreader who knew what commas were for and could recognize a dangling elliptical clause when he saw one. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I knew you'd know a "DEC" when you saw one. Just what the heck is a DEC? A dangling elliptical clause, (Or a "DEC" to those few in the know), Is a jangling centrifugal pause In the midst of a scriptural flow. Stay honed, Hank, you are so there! Colin. |

The dangling modifier, a persistent and frequent grammatical problem in writing, is often (though not always) located at the beginning of a sentence. A dangling modifier is usually a phrase or an elliptical clause -- a dependent clause whose subject and verb are implied rather than expressed -- that functions as an adjective but does not modify any specific word in the sentence, or (worse) modifies the wrong word. Well, now I am more confused than ever. I am beginning to wonder if I ever had a first language :) |
