  1. If you want anyone to read this, you have to make it more than one paragraph. I count about 5 or 6 separate thoughts.

    In a world with so much being published everyday, long complicated sentences and paragraphs stretching multiple pages are things of the past.

  2. Thanks Steve, that’s an excellent suggestion. When I started writing this I was thinking in terms of printed dictionaries, which often have one long paragraph per entry (e.g. Blackwell, Oxford). But since it’s now taken web format, it probably should be reformatted. I’ve done this with a few of the very long entries but will consider breaking up some of the medium ones too (like this one).

    Appreciated.

  3. Glad you thought it was helpful. I’ve been a writer for 25 years and I’ve found that breaking the rules sometimes to make things more readible gets you ideas read.

    I see a lot of posts that have interesting content but I don’t think anyone has the patiences to read it several times.

    I’ve responded to others people’s posts after I’ve read a sentence or paragraphy two or three times and didn’t have a clue what they wrote.

    In general, I always suggest that people try to write the way they speak. Then read it back out loud and see if it still makes sense.
