Floating lines in align environment
I'm using the align environment to align some equations, and I would like to insert some comments between them. The problem is that I'm using & to align the equals, and because my comments don't contain some, they make the equations shift to the right.
For example :
begin{align*}
1 &=& 3 - 2 \
text{And because 2 = 1 + 1} \
&=& 3 - 1 - 1
end{align*}
Okay, this is a stupid example but the problem is the equals will be aligned after the comment "and because...".
Do you have any idea of how I could tell LaTeX to "ignore" the comment and make it "float"?

Welcome to TeX.SE. For future questions, please keep in mind that while code snippets are useful in explanations, it is always best to compose a fully compilable MWE that illustrates the problem including thedocumentclassand the appropriate packages.

Use intertext in place of text. See page 7 of the amsmath package documentation.
