I remember some tiff between Levitin and Pinker, re: the evolutionary connection to music. I think I’m siding with Pinker on the auditory cheesecake issue.

GREAT article from Child in Time blog. (Imaginary friends are nice too). Seriously though, a friend of mine, English professor, and I were just discussing how we both overuse parentheses. One writer thinks that most of what is written that way is useless information.

Now that I’ve read the article, I wonder if parentheses serve as a kind of written private speech.
