...coming soon!
I find that I am once again having many thoughts of things to say these days, which I will share here at times of the day when my brain is at its best (i.e., mostly not in the early-to-mid evening [i.e., now]).
One thing to say that my use of parentheses in the previous paragraph reminded me of:
When one is writing the initialization or acronym of something, I do not think one should ever use "or", but that parentheses should instead be used. For example, use "...blah blah blah (author's note: my brain really does not work at this hour) respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is common in young children..." not "...respiratory syncytial virus or RSV infection is common in young children..."
I saw the latter today in a magazine and it bugged me so much. It makes it sound like there are two infections being discussed instead of one.
