Long Sentences

double or single spaced?
What is the exercise meant to accomplish?

Now I have to go try it.

Although making the sentence good sounds impossible. I think Joseph Conrad writes some incredibly long sentences in some of his books and I find those sentences super hard to read.

Why would you go about writing a sentence like that?

Reading aloud a 4 pg sentence is tedious for both reader and listener, reading by eye no matter the subject is a strain--there's no breaks the eye can rest on, no pauses to let you ctch your breath. Reminds me of the pontificating politicians who BS on and on to get their point across belaboring the ears of anyone unfortunate enough to be within listening distance to stop a bill from passing. I beleive that's called a filibuster.

If one wanted to write a really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, *snipped because you get the point*

I might actually attempt this one for reals though. It sounds like an interesting exercise. And I want to run the above through Grammar check to see what happens.
