Unrelated question: did you find the previous paragraph easy to read? Technically, it consists of only one sentence, divided into many subparts through various punctuation marks. Is it acceptable to have one paragraph consisting of only one sentence? Would the answers to these questions change if you’re reading on desktop or on mobile?
