Would that I were capable of uniformly achieving what you have phrased so kindly -- but on occasion, the collective consciousness will give any of us a break ;-)
IMO most all topics involving homo-sap behaviour cannot be treated as logical derivations from some 'principle', as so many would hope (and some even believe). Hell, you can even get a degree in Belief of That!
Glad to hear that you can follow a sentence with more than one subordinate clause -- it's certainly the way my brain functions; it is bloody well Not a serial-processing kind of thing, however cutesy two-state logic pretends. (Besides, my logic is at least tristate: Yes/No/Maybe.) Chopping up interrelated thoughts into these little byte-sized thingies scans rilly well, but it is effete; it gives an impression that an idea really is parseable into its elements, even re humans (!)
Hah.. what a concept.
Oh well.
I write for the clarification of my experiences, and for any few who find it close-enough to match their similar ones. (Nor am I the first to put it that way) Believing that all answers can at best evoke only better questions, I eschew the textbook imparting of data, leaving that for those with an aim to fix a config file or repair a carburetor. (Frankly I never read textbooks as literature, but I guess that can be an acquired taste, if there are no books around.)
