>Michigan law imposes an affirmative obligation to retreat upon a nonagressor

When I started reading this I was hoping that you were going to raise as a peeve your feeling that this phrase sucks.

Just think how much clearer it would be if it said:

Michigan law imposes upon a nonagressor an affirmative obligation to retreat

Every day I run into such poor sentence structure, and I sometimes feel an affirmative obligation to treat the author with disdain. Of course if I have already done that I have an affirmative obligation to re-treat.
