Perhaps your request is tongue in cheek, but here are a couple useful web
pages, one for comma splices and one for dangling participles: http://www.niu.edu/acad/english/wac/commas.html http://www.niu.edu/acad/english/wac/verbclus.html
The stuff on dangling participles is about half way down the page on verb
clusters.
These pages are part of a series of on-line lessons meant to teach
first-year college students how to develop facility with sentence
structure. The lesson sequence is named "The Gutenberg Exchange," and you
can go to its front page at http://www.niu.edu/acad/english/wac/synlita.html
