Learning from this case study
A sentence with many commas probably has extra information stuffed into it. This case study shows us how to untangle sentences like this.
• Think of your web users and how and when they will use each piece of information.
• If people need different pieces of the information at different times, separate those pieces.
• Keep the main parts of the sentence (subject, verb, object) together.
• Put the key message first.
• Pull out extra information and make each piece its own sentence.
• Consider using visuals, fragments, and lists where they convey the information quickly and accurately.
