You might want to work on extending the span of your attention, there's pretty dismal future ahead if people have trouble extracting the meaning from a few lines of text.
My attention span is long enough to read and understand what was written here,but that's beyond the point. Long, multipart sentences are hard to read in general. This isn't my own anecdotal data point: most newspaper or book editors would have similar guidelines. Whether someone decides to usesuch rules, is up to them.
Clear and simple language wins. Stilted language alienates. FDR simplified speeches to make the language more accessible. For example, he rewrote “we want a more inclusive society,” to “we want a society in which nobody is left out.”
