Can't sentences of more than ten words also have clarity?


"...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Would a question such as this be an example of what you mean?

Could you give me another example of a clear sentence of over ten words for additional clarity please?

Doesn't that depend on the words and context?

Wouldn't the choice of language used to convey a sentence of over ten words also be a variable in determining the overall clarity of the text to the reader?

Would a grandmother perhaps object to some of the choice language used in a sentence of over ten words?

Do you often swear as part of the way you communicate?

Would countries on 4 continents be enough to classify me as a world traveler?
