t The boy7 climbin' the tree to 'et birds, e''s7 had a bad 6all.

o6 the 6ollowin' main :erb:
8limbin' the tree to 'et birds, e''s7 the boy had a bad 6all.
Sometimes this principle is disre'arded and con6usion results:
8limbin' down the tree7 one o6 the e''s broke.
This word order makes it appear that the e'' was climbin'7 which is nonsense. A participle
linked in this way to the wron'
nounDpronoun is said to be 2misrelated2. The sentence should be
rewritten:
8limbin' down the tree he broke one o6 the e''s or
