Description
Some of the more minor uses of Parentheticals are outlined in this article, such as uses for calling out foreign languages, sotto voce, and more. Parentheticals are rarely used in these ways (okay, foreign languages are used a little more than the other functions shown here), but every writer should have these alternatives in his or her arsenal.
