Today in my legal writing class we received an excerpt from a contract (link below). That whole block of text contains...I think...maybe three sentences.

That's bizarre! I guess these extra long sentences do happen regularly.

Regularly, but that's hella insane to read. We were told never to do that. Uber long sentences are hard to read, and we should not use them.
