I think both of you have used your allotment of parentheses and will have to avoid parenthetical explanations for the next month or so!Joannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317350452193849079.post-49446636951745467022011-12-11T16:12:17.670-08:002011-12-11T16:12:17.670-08:00Quote from wikipedia on parentheses:
Parentheses ...Quote from wikipedia on parentheses:<br /><br />Parentheses may also be nested (generally with one set (such as this) inside another set). This is not commonly used in formal writing (though sometimes other brackets [especially square brackets] will be used for one or more inner set of parentheses [in other words, secondary {or even tertiary} phrases can be found within the main parenthetical sentence])Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535145251729451839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317350452193849079.post-82735988133343489212011-12-11T15:38:00.361-08:002011-12-11T15:38:00.361-08:00Nice work with the parentheses.

But the danger (and I mean this seriously) is if you use them too much (more than once in a sentence may be just that), the whole sentence can get too long and hard to follow. :)Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484624909646176075noreply@blogger.com
