there is something seriously wrong with me...

... I just footnoted¹ an email.

And this was just a friendly email to a friend. Granted, it was about legal ideas, but still. My parenthetical speaking/writing style has reached a certain level of horror now. Especially since i kind of like the idea of footnoting².


¹ ok, technically, they might be endnotes, but whatever.
² you can have clarifications, thus being accurate or complete, without destroying the rhythm of the sentence/argument/idea.
