September 19, 2009
Quoted over at Lowering the Bar, this is from an article about misplaced prepositional phrases in the New York Times:

An unusual penalty.
Notice anything interesting in my introduction?

“In the New York Times” could refer to the location of either the article or the misplaced prepositional phrases. Both are true.
