So far I am not up to my quota but I have a feeling that the weekends will be catch up days. I find myself not reading papers that have complicated English in them because I don't want to waste my time with them. Even when I know the papers are crazy important. Koch makes a valid point that some readers will be able to understand complex sentences easier than me however, when was the last time someone told you that your sentences and English was too simple for publication? - Andy Maloney

I just thought of a situation where complicated explanations may benefit the writer: grants. Ha! That sentence is so ironic! I've never written a grant but it would make sense to me that a writer would want to be complicated if it puts them at an advantage. Personally, I would try not to be complicated. But, if you are in competition for money, then you do what is necessary. - Andy Maloney
