There's also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they'd then completely fail to convey anything.

So, so much. Then realizing you typed two paragraphs replying to a text. Then spend 30 minutes on full re-edits until your self doubt makes you eventually delete it all and simply respond “ok” where normal people only take 10 seconds to type that and yet you get annoyed by their lack of communication. And thus the self hatred spiral continues, as ever.

I use dashes - like this - and feel called out.

Listen there is nothing wrong with having used both commas, dashes and parentheses in the same comment. It's perfectly normal.

Right?

Don't forget to add brackets along with the parenthesis so you can have a clarifying thought during your clarifying thought

Dunno ask Vampire Weekend.

Use m-dashes and no spaces, and you'll be doing it right. The m-dash—which look like this—is the appropiate punctuation for this purpose.

I don't appreciate being attacked like this.

I absolutely detest that kind (the kind who writes a giant parenthetical in the middle if their sentence before one or two words at the end. Just put the fucking parenthetical after the sentence! jfc) of person.

Some try to compensate for that by editing sentences to remove it, but then only change like half the sentence, breaking it without realizing.
