absolute modifiers
A misplaced modifier is one that is unclear in a sentence. It is placed in such a way that the reader does not know what the modifier is referring to. Improperly placed adverbs, split infinitives, and misplaced phrases and clauses are all unclear in a sentence. They can lead to confusion and misunderstandings. However, absolute modifiers are words that don't need any further modifying. A few examples are perfect or complete. You can't get any better than perfect or more complete than complete.
