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.
