Sorry about that, I hope I didn't ruin anything

I think sentences of these lengths can be difficult for me to read sometimes because I am used to speaking or writing in short sentences, so when I see a long sentence I automatically try to read it all at once.
When this happens I like to just try and remember that all I have to do is focus on the small sentences which make up the larger sentence and it makes it much easier to read.
Whether I always understand correctly or not is another matter
