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."

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

More words make for more clarity for you?

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

Do long sentences always have some choice words?

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