Thanks for the excellent feedback and very informative. I guess I just
did not consider the memory side of things and did not think about just
how much extra addition was having to occur.
Additionally I also found this supporting link:

Please don't do that. This risks becoming slow. REALLY slow. Painfully slow.

A procedural point here: You forgot to include the list, and just
replied to me privately. Normally, what you should do is a Reply-All.

''.join(['very', 'hot', 'day']) (no spaces)
' '.join(['very', 'hot', 'day']) (if you want spaces)
