That's the point where I go back and edit the first parenthesized block to be separated by a comma, semicolon, or dash, make it a separate sentence, or convert the inner parenthesis to a footnote.
My mrs wires entirely in parentheses - it’s subclauses all the way down. She’s not ADHD though, likely OCD.
learn to appreciate nested parentheses.
because some ideas are fractals of thought
When she was finishing her thesis my number one line of advice was “could this subclause be a new sentence?”.
it's not her fault she thinks fractally rather than linearly.
I feel this so hard
Read this to my husband.
Him: "I never know where the punctuation goes, so I rewrite it so the () are in the middle of the sentence and I don't have to worry about it."
Me: "I do that too!"
Him: (because we've been together almost 30 years) "I don't think we've ever talked about this."
There’s always an equivalent way using a more advanced sentence structure. Parentheses are just the lazy way / bad habit.
Example:
I feel like a semicolon or colon would be better here than parentheses
Why not all of the above?
Hot damn (I'm so [so] "guilty" of this); seriously – it's no even (or odd) funny!
Parawhat?
Oh
The lighter side of ADHD
