I like short iris.

Don't make fear based decisions.

Nope, not a dangling participle. A dangling participle would be "Running down the street, his watch stopped ticking." (Running down the street) is the participial phrase and it is dangling because it does not modify or change who is running down the street.

Correct would be "Running down the street, he noticed his watch had stopped ticking."

I love it . Mini grammar lessons on an iris forum.

Aha. I was lost on the short comments too. And I am 5 ft 3" so I am short.

Happy birthday from me, too! Birthdays are best to celebrate but losing allure when it comes to counting them!

Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday, Mary Ann!!! I hope you make many, many more trips around the sun.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
