Mis-placed clauses
Good English should tell the reader what has happened, is happening, or will happen. The reader should not have to move the clauses around like a jig-saw puzzle to guess the probably likeliest scenario. For example
Man who stabbed three in London court.
(No he didn't stab them in court. Which is the conclusion you jump to on first reading. The writers means: Man in court for stabbing three.)
