Subjects and verbs were meant to go together, Merrill Perlman writes, but sloppy writers sometimes separate them, and that way madness lies: "That delay between subject and verb can be short or long. The long ones are the most dangerous, allowing a reader to lose the train of thought the writer is trying to establish." Also, down with the double-space after a period, and while we're at it, let's fix those errant commas.
