English Grammar Question
Paraphrased from a work-related document:
"A gamer named Marc who has never played GURPS because he never read the rules now wishes to do so."
Grammatically speaking, what is Marc wishing to do at this time? Play GURPS or read the rules? I realize the sentence above lacks appropriate punctuation, which might help in deciphering the meaning, but this is how the sentence was structured in the work doc.
My initial impression and current opinion is that Marc now wishes to play GURPS, because this is the first action clause in the sentence.
