It seems in the past 15 years there is a deliberate avoidance of the actual topic until deep into the article. I can only assume this hits some optimization for online use.
- mancerayder 6y agoI think it's an elitism in the writing style. If you can write densely, it signals education.

I end up chaining multiple thoughts rather than splitting them up into discrete sentences that link thoughts together. It maybe easier to write but it's harder to read. I use commas for things that can be mentally skipped and lists, and semicolons for related sentence fragments. It's probably an anti-pattern to use semicolons except as a greater grouping like: do you want apples, pears, and bananas; chicken, fish, and beef; or lettuce, tomatoes, and onions?
