fellow bloggers
Looking at my web server stats this morning, I noticed that Andrew has been sending a fair amount of traffic to my site via the link from his page. I wonder what people think of these ramblings after reading the enlightened prose that Andrew creates? Brian has also sent some “hits” my way from the link on his site. I think I know who Brian is. But do I really? No. I am happy to assume that he is who I think he is…considering he links to both Andrew and me.
Back to Andrew’s blog though…now that I read his blog often enough, I believe I have found someone who has more of a penchant for parentheses than I do. After reading his blog (and my own - doh! there I go with the parens again…), I have seriously considered creating a blog reader that parses parentheticals. Something like this:
“blah blah(*), blo blu bla bleh.”
And if you click on the (*), it expands to give you nugget that lives in the parentheses.
Ok, enough. That’s my idea.

your parenthesis idea would be especially helpful for parenthetical clauses within parenthesis (and parenthetical clauses within those).

Good point. I think I came up with the idea while in the depths of parenthetical heirarchy.
I love the extra insight often found within the bounds of parentheses but I am often left wondering where I am at when I encounter the ) end.
