Have you ever encountered a sentence that’s a bit too long and too full of clauses and descriptive phrases, so that no matter how many times you redo and delete and rearrange and reinsert and otherwise reinvent the punctuation, it still looks terrible and reads like kaka, but you can’t shorten it or delete parts of it or otherwise reconstruct it, because all of the phrases and clauses are too important and too central to what the author is trying to say, and you can’t chop it into two sentences because they’ll be too choppy and they’ll sound stupid, so instead you sit there staring at it and redoing it and redoing it again and then taking breaks from it and then coming back to it, at which point you discover that what you tried to do to it is hilariously bad and sounds awful, so you have no choice but to keep clicking “undo” until it reverts back to its original form, at which point you are reminded of just how bad it was in the first place, so you have to start the whole process all over again?
I have.
