Run-on Sentence Example
Run-on Sentence Example
(OP)
I was going through my files and found a letter that I've kept because it had a fine example of a hard-to-read, run-on sentence. This is a direct quote from an actual engineering agreement. I just find it funny to read and thought some of you might, too.

re-iterate means repeat, say again, go over, restate, do again, recap, retell,
This sentence is a nonsense. They either did mean to incorporate it or they didn't. Can't be half-pregnant, although maybe it could be alleged that.
