The Wall Street Journal:

For Washington, the winter of 2010, which blanketed the capital with about 45 inches before Tuesday, seems likely to break the record 54.5 inches set a decade after record-keeping began in 1888.

That’s the kind of writing we can expect from our betters in the media!  Is 1888 the year that record keeping began, or is it the year the record was set?  Kids, don’t leave your modifiers dangling.
