And stop dangling those participles. And to never split infinitives. And no matter, strive to never end a sentence with a preposition, but leave them inside.

Captain Bill Burt Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Timmy found his pet gerbil cleaning his room. Set afire and melting, the guests were impressed by the exotic bananas foster dessert. Loved for their small size and chipper dispositions, dog breeders everywhere are breeding chiweenies, a mix of dachshunds and chihuahuas. Flying out the window, Naomi spotted her missing parrot.
