I thought dangling participles were the problem.
It's really the prepositions at the ends of sentences, though they are rich fodder for insults. Example- person says, "Where are you going to?". Grammar Nazi says, "Don't end a sentence with a preposition". Original person responds, "OK, where you going to, asshole?".

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
