And the sentence is a marathon. An almost incomprehensible marathon.

Ol' Simmons said...

And then a typo in the Reason, "...the twentieth letter" should be "...the twentieth word". I am amazed.

Mike said...

Sue - You could swap out intellectuality for incomprehensible.

Mike said...

Simmons - I saw that and thought about fixing it. Nope, too much trouble.

Bilbo said...

The guy who wrote this is now writing legislation for the GOP to help keep it from being understood until it's too late.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

I bow to the Master.

Mike said...

Bill - From being understood especially by republicans.

Deb - Whoever the master may be. It sure isn't me.

John Going Gently said...

Wow

Mike said...

John - How fast can you read that? :)

As interesting as your post was, I liked Bilbo's comment better :-)

I didn't notice that because my brain was so busy trying to comprehend it! I think it makes sense in a very convuloted way. Never realized that there is such an odd sentence structure.

Cloudia said...

As fascinating as it is ultimately pointless! Feels like a punishment assignment in school 😁

Kirk said...

OK, fine, but now let's see that person start with 20 letters and go down to one.

Mike said...

Kathy - That's because he commented a sad sad truism.

Allen - I never did understand it because I was too busy counting letters.

Cloudia - It's definitely a punishment of some sort.

Kirk - Pretend you're that person. Electrogalvanization: there's a start for you. :)
