Anyway, what you've managed to glean kind of made me wonder, just how much such simple sentences are used. I was reading that book today, and one sentence (at least most memorably) really messed with my head... Well, of course most of the book, given the genre, is written in the past tense, and that comes with its own set of complications. But even in the present, take a verb with a separable prefix, a couple additional items, and place that within a compound sentence...

Okay, never mind that for now. Maybe I should have erased all that to avoid alarming you prematurely. But I also kind of want to vent my own frustration. So let's settle on a compromise, where I just won't list any more grisly details. Let's just say, every, I suppose, one out of ten sentences is an adventure and an expedition... At least in the written language, where the author has the (unfortunate for us) advantage of being able to refer to the start of the sentence, if they've forgotten by the end, what the root of the verb was.
Ahh, autocorrect, yes it was a typo, I missed it or else I would have edited it.
