I thought it was for humour actually. Demonstrating the problem he was talking about in the very sentence he was talking about it..
That was the intent.
I probably could’ve done it better though.
The comprehensibility problem in the last sentence seems to be the grammar!
I agree with that, but the readability metric doesn’t seem to deduct that much for grammar. Instead it just looks for long sentences, then docks for that. I don’t think that it would actually be able to detect a long but readable sentence, and deduct fewer points for it.
Okay, so now I want to see how many words I can fit into a sentence without it getting too confusing to be read by someone who is pretty young or perhaps new to English; what sorts of ideas might you, or anyone else, have to make a sentence keep working as long as possible?

As to the original comment, sorry I guess I explained your joke.
Well, you did, but I was probably going to anyway at that point.
Really long descriptions seem to work well for making long sentences. Aside, do you want to do this with or without semicolons?
Does the algorithm count semicolons as creating new sentences? The purpose here remains to defeat the algorithm, correct?
I don’t know actually. I’d guess not, but it might vary by implementation.
