Swapping Things Around

Why I often swap bits of sentences around when editing an article

It’s happened to you, too. You’re reading a text and you have to read a sentence or a paragraph a second time. Perhaps a third time, too.

There may be many reasons for this. One of these reasons is the order in which the author presented things or actions in a sentence. We may find it harder to read a sentence if this order doesn’t match the natural order we see and think about things.

In this short-ish video, I show you an example of an edit I made as I was working on my latest Python article.
