Minn. Stat. § 645.18 : STATUTES, CONSTRUCTION — INTERPRETATION OF STATUTES AND RULES —CONSTRUCTION OF LAWS — GRAMMAR; SYNTAX; ELLIPSIS

Grammatical errors shall not vitiate a law. A transposition of words and clauses may be resorted to when a sentence is without meaning as it stands. Words and phrases which may be necessary to the proper interpretation of a law and which do not conflict with its obvious purpose and intent nor in any way affect its scope and operation may be added in the construction thereof.
