...albeit I'm not sure at this penning what the world record is, but we'll give it a go nonetheless.

The object of this thread is to contrive the world's longest grammatically correct sentence sans any punctuation with the except of a period at its end.

For starters, the goal is to beat the following found here: http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/showthread.php/15827-The-longest-naturally-occuring-sentence-without-a-punctuation


Basic rules, subject to change/amend:

• Zero pronunciations with the except of a period at its end.
• No foul language of any language origin.
• No mention of individuals still living.
• The resulting prose MUST be 100% grammatically correct.
• You're allowed to change as much of the text that you desire as long as you're approving upon it.
• Ideally, bold your chances for quick reference purposes.
• Do not inject anything Bitcoin/Crypto related, with the resulting prose being as generic for the general public as much as possible.
• The use of less-common words is encouraged.
• No hyphenated words are allowed.
• Feel free to suggest other suggestions that should be included in the basic rules.
• The first word MUST remain as 'Nor'.
• No two words are to be repeated, i.e., "darn cat" will ONLY be scribed once.
• To make the task a tad more difficult, the entire prose WILL be written in E-Prime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Prime) (follow the link to get up to speed if not versed).
• EDIT: No proper nouns, thus the only capital letter shall be N in Nor at the beginning of the sentence.

Hopefully, this endeavor will give you English language brainiacs a fun exercise to participate in. I, too, look forward to contributing, having any of my errata corrected.

If Guinness accepts the resulting prose, I will not take credit for it with the exception of ONLY being its initiator, giving credit to all those that'll participate, linking this thread at submission.

Thanks in advance.
