Spanish thinking

Felipe, the newly coronated King of Spain, attended Georgetown University where one of his advisers commented that he required help in writing.  “He was using incredibly long sentences, filled with tons of subordinate clauses, and we worked together on writing in a more natural style of English,” Mr. McNeill recalled." I know the problem and it was not English  skill that needed work, but clarity of thought.  Spanish was my first language and my essays were just as convoluted.  The New Times Manual of Style and Usage cleared up the problem by college, but there are still remnants.  Possibly there has been a study of the problem I speak of.  The results of this Arabic style of expression is convoluted thinking resulting in nothing.  It is best exemplified by Harry Truman seeking out one handed Economists where he had no patience for the on the one hand this and on the other that variety.
