A Tricky Construction

Almost every time I post, I use single sentences for the substance of my lessons. Today I’m going to play a trick on you. First, the sentence, from the excellent site A Word A Day:

See here and here, for example.

Shouldn’t that be “here and here, as examples”? Or something with a plural of “example”?

Let’s  add the sentence that came before:

While voluntourism may be well-intentioned, it may not always be the best way to help. See here and here, for example.

What does “example” refer to? It’s “best way to help,” a singular! Here we have an uncommon example of a modifier (in this case, an adjectival prepositional phrase) referring to something in another sentence! It happens.

See if you can think up an example or two of something in one sentence referring to something in another sentence.

PS—I didn’t follow those links in the quote, so I don’t know what you’ll get if you click them.

PPS—Should that PS have said “the quote” or “the quotes”?
