You make a good point. I have often wondered about this myself. To some extent I think therapy is very negative as instead of moving on, you are forced to keep looking at the past and analyzing it in order to understand why you are the way you are. I am not so sure this is good. The Bible is clear about not looking back.

You must not read much (or at least not read anything written in the 19th century).

"It's impossible to read. Long paragraphs that just go on & on & on. "

I am sorry that public schoold made you think that shorter sentences are normal. Until recently, American readers were able to maintain focus while reading longer expressions of thought.

You must be having a bad day. At least I hope that’s your excuse. How about keeping the snotty comments to yourself?

It wasn’t long sentences that was being commented on. In case you can’t read it was long paragraphs. Maybe you were the one public schooled.

I suppose you’ve never heard of a run-on sentence.

Thank you beandog. It's always nice to have a bit of backup.
