I will write excessively complex sentences whenever I darn please, and will be hogtied before I stop at the whims of a /diff tool/.

Mock outrage aside, whimsy and play in written language is vastly cheaper than in industrial programming environments. Provided, of course, the author can yet communicate while horsing around.

Did you misunderstand?

One sentence per line doesn't mean your sentence has to be limited in length.
