If Not a Nerd, You Need a Nerd.

Fatooh, Joy
- Abstract
The author comments on several language glitches and emphasizes the importance of word nerds to rectify such situations. Examples of the mistakes on danglers are cited, including the National Public Radio's port on U.S. President Barack Obama visiting Australia, a caption for a photo from a calendar from a national conservation organization, and an article by a Boston University on his website. The misuse of the modifiers, literally, relatively and unique are also tackled.
