Does this sentence lack parallel parts being unable to type the letter the boss fired you?
Erpetite
'Lacking parallel parts' isn't a term I'm familiar with, but I would guess that you are referring to what is known as a 'hanging participle' or 'dangling modifier' or similar. This sentence certainly contains one of those. The modifier ('being unable to type the letter') is placed alongside the subject ('the boss'), whereas it is meant to refer to the object ('you'). What the sentence as written conveys is 'As she was unable to type the letter, the boss fired you.' What it should convey is 'As you were unable to type the letter, the boss fired you.' It's not possible to use a participial modifier to convey this meaning - or not gracefully, anyway - so the wording is best left as above: 'As you were unable to type the letter, the boss fired you.'
