The importance of sentence composition
#1
I was just reading an article on tomorrow's Suds Summit and did a double take on this portion of a sentence, "...sits down with Prof. Henry Louis Gates and the police sergeant who arrested him in an attempt to smooth over a racial furor."

Gee, I thought the arrest was what prompted the furor, but it says here the arrest was an attempt to smooth one over. Huh, talk about me having misunderstood the whole thing. Smile
