@the_etrain It's a long sentence, yes, and it might be complex, but it is not, in fact, a run-on sentence. It is one long statement, including one subject and its verb, and various dependent clauses doing grammatical things related to that subject/verb.

This is perhaps the only actual peeve I have: the misidentification of run-on sentences.

Stonekettle once posted a blog entry with what is to me the longest compound-complex sentence I have ever seen. It's fully a paragraph unto itself. Yet it is not a run-on. Brilliant stuff.

You done good. Keep doing.

@grammargirl@zirk.us @overholt @grammargirl@mastodon.social Thanks!

I was able to check a different printing of V2 at the link Mr. Overheat provided. No joy. That confirmed my suspicion that they're coinages by the writer.

@Kierkegaanks There are many changes I would make, if I were copy editing this.

I'm not thinking that deeply for this kind of critique.

Speaking of The Lion in Winter:

It's also got a bebe Nigel Terry (Arthur in Boorman's \"Excalibur\") as Prince John, and John Castle as Geoffrey.

Such a great film, all around.

If you've never seen it, you're missing a bit of history in more ways than one.
