[Lee]:
<LOL> Probably teaching that short is good hails from the difficulty some
people have with deciphering long sentences.  In my personal opinion, the
champions of the long, convoluted sentence are those who specialize in
"Legalese," a language that prides itself in brain-cramping complexity. :-)
