Sometimes I think English could do with a punctuation device like how brackets are used in algebra.

That way it would make it a little bit easier {when a sentence is poorly structured and includes an extensive list of specific points which break up the basic syntax} to understand sometimes.

I think that kind of punctuation is missing.

But I don't think I'd ever use it.

So it wasn't really worth mentioning really.

@trinsec Well, yes, but I'm talking about when you want to cramp the whole lot into an entirely incomprehensible sentence.

@lydiaconwell Yes, that's when it should be a footnote!
