I always wish it was easy to “hyperlink” parts of my sentence. So that they could hover over it and see my explanation for that part. But alas, that would be too much work.

It gets fun when the side thought is longer than the original and starts getting side thoughts of its own. The context needs more context or nobody will get it.

oh god I do this all the time, excessively, and have to rewrite emails and posts multiple times to get rid of them as much as possible. sometimes I’ll be writing a parenthetical and need to nest others within it…

It’s hard.

As long as you escape the inner parentheticals there is no problem (escape as in adding "" to it \(just as in programming \\\(because we do this as much as you do \\\\\\(in many languages\\\\\\).\\\)\)).

I do this so much at work and have to constantly remind myself not to overdo it (otherwise people will think I’m crazy).

I’ve learned to back off and realize that commas, instead of parentheses, often work just fine.

Fuck (Well happens to me (sometimes even nested))

Linus Torvalds used nested parentheses in his famous Linux announcement email (1991-08-25) so I think precedent says they’re OK.

Nested parenthesis is fairly common in most programming languages.

Last time I checked, we were talking about English, not Lisp.
