I'm reading a post where the poster and a couple of the commenters are having issues closing their parentheses, and it's seriously distracting, because I keep scanning ahead for the closing, not finding it, reparsing the sentence, mentally inserting the closed-paren where it seems to work, and rereading the sentence and surrounding sentences, and yall, I have been off my meds for close to two weeks; I may die of this.
