Dr. Write tagged me! The idea is to answer these questions with just one word, so here I go. If there's a parenthetical after my answer, it doesn't count, since parentheses cast whatever they contain into the abyss (I'm pretty sure that's what Derrida meant by mise en abyme, and if it isn't I don't want to hear about it). Here I go:

My, do we share obsessions.
ReplyDeleteactually, I think the point is that we can't know what comes before the parentheses without the parentheses, so even if you had not used them they would have been (always, already)implied.
