"You observe how far that verb is from the reader's base of operations;
well, in a German newspaper they put their verb away over on the next
page; and I have heard that sometimes after stringing along the
exciting preliminaries and parentheses for a column or two, they get in
a hurry and have to go to press without getting to the verb at all. Of
course, then, the reader is left in a very exhausted and ignorant
state."--MT, Appendix D. The Awful German Language
