Usage note: A traditional
rule holds that the construction 'the reason is because' is redundant
and should be avoided in favor of 'the reason is that'. The usage is well
established, however and can be justified
by analogy
to constructions such as 'his purpose in calling her was so that she would
be forewarned of the change in schedule' or 'the last time I saw her was
when she was leaving for college'. All three constructions are somewhat
less than graceful, however. When 'because' follows a negated verb phrase,
it should be preceded
by a comma ( , ) where the
'because' clause
explains why the event did not occur ('He didn't marry her, because she
was frivolous'); this means roughly
'Her frivolity was his reason for not marrying her'; when no comma is used,
the 'because' clause is understood as part of what is being negated ('He
didn't marry her because she was frivolous') means roughly 'His reason
for marrying her was independent of her frivolity'. See Usage
note at 'as'. See more Usage notes.
