Our language is composed of many short words

Ans some much shorter ones

Here is an example

I was travelling on a train in a compartment designed in the nineteen-thirties 

The wood panels were high;y polished and complemented by clear mirrors and shadded lights 

But what really rook my fancy were the blue and green seats which were very handsome and blended well

A simple description the interior f a railwat carriage you might think

But lanhguage is muc more complicated than this especially for thse who travrl through time
