I don't think all other languages have the same problem with run-on sentances that we have in English. One thing I found difficult about Spanish (there were a few things but...) was that many of the sentances were long enough that I would forget the meaning of the first half by the time I had decoded the second. There would be clauses within clauses piggy-backed onto other clauses. Anyone know about other languages?
