Dangling participles: "Assuming that..."

[Tom]

Hi

One of my grammar books says that the following phrases cause the most dangling participles. Could you please tell me how by completing them in such a way that they end up becoming dangling participles?

1- Assuming that...
2- Based on...
3- Given that...
4- Regarding your...
5- Seeing that...
6- Judging by....

Not so easy, Tom. I think these qualify:

1- Assuming that the earth is round, it should be circumnavigable.
2- Based on my test, you are pregnant.
3- Given that it's Tuesday, the laundry man should be here soon.(?)
4- Regarding your dog, he doesn't bite, does he?
5- Seeing that I'm out of work, this interview is important to me.
6- Judging by the colour of your nose, where have you been?

I'm not sure whether given is dangling; maybe someone else will be.

It is me again!

Could you please tell me if the following sentences are 100%correct? No dangling participles!

1- Assuming that the earth is round, Newton proposed this theory.

2- Based on my test, the report cannot be wrong.

3- Given that it is Tuesday, I cannot allow you a half day leave.

4- Regarding your dog, there are a few things I would like to discuss.

5- Seeing that I am out of work, you should help me out.

6- Judging by the colour of your nose, I am sure you have been out all day long.

Do we agree?

#4 is a very common way of expression, but I am not sure that it is not dangling. If there is a dummy subject, the actual subject is things... and neither there nor things can regard.

Yet the phrase is so pervasive that I am tempted to simply call 'regarding... ' a set phrase-- in which case I could solve my own difficulty by adding 'given that...' to the same list of set phrases: then we need not worry about dangle.

Mea culpa; sorry, Mister Micawber!

And a massive 'thanks' to you and Amy.

I just wanted to share the name of the book with you that gave me this information.
