For this week's blog entry we were told to write about our favorite punctuation mark. Mine is the parenthesis.
Granted, I probably use the parenthesis wrong 99 percent of the time but it's definitely a personal favorite. I like it because it mimics my own style of thinking (which is sporadic and full of random information). It allows to make a statement and give supporting information in the same sentence. Even better, it allows me to clarify and explain inside the parameters of an ordinary sentence (which can often be boring). The parentheses are the best friend of an ADD kid (like me). When my thoughts drift and stray like a lost boat out at sea (which is all the time), the parentheses are the only thing that anchor me the topic's relevance. My use of them may or may not be slightly unorthodox, but for better or for worse (probably for worse), I use them in my personal writing. Thanks to parentheses my writing is much more (un)clear.
