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.
This is false (but sometimes true [unless it isn’t– and that’s possible (sometimes)])
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."
Hot damn (I'm so [so] "guilty" of this); seriously – it's no even (or odd) funny!
Parawhat?
Oh
