Hmmm...not bad for a non-native speaker.
Umm. Might be because I didn't go to an American high school.
WTF is a dangling modifier?
A-ha!http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_dangmod.html
Ok. I HATED the grammar in school - as a separate study thing I mean, the collection of weirdly named rules to just learn by heart. English, Russian, Estonian grammar, no diff. Loved the languages and lit and translation though. But I've done my best to try to forget all the grammar terminology, I mean, Estonian language alone has 14 cases and I think it is rather enough to be using them in everyday speech. One does not need to slot them into rules and name them, for chrissakes!

Hmmm...not bad for a non-native speaker.
You paid attention during 97% of high school!
85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!
Do you deserve your high school diploma?
