Use Short Subjects
When writing a sentence, try to make the subject shorter than the verb. This will help readers understand the sentence better. Compare the following two sentences:
To the idea that we should hold a weekly staff meeting, I agree.
I agree that we should hold a weekly staff meeting.
The first sentence is not only difficult to read, but it also sounds an awful lot like a sentence structure which Yoda, the Jedi master on Star Wars, would use. :-p
“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?” says Yoda, the Jedi Master.
