Parentheses, like dashes, have roughly the same grammatical weight as commas and to me these two sentences call out for closer integration; the full stop is too divisive.<br /><br />Thus: I have a similar contraption in my garage (Thinks, what previously unthought-of uses..?).<br /><br />Three other points. Trim unnecessary words. Thinks, like said, takes a comma. Get rid of quotes wherever you can. Read The Guardian on-line with this latter suggestion in mind. Note too how often capital letters are dispensed with: eg, prime minister but Downing Street when referring to the prime ministerial function.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-90838656068857825232019-03-11T16:13:25.639+00:002019-03-11T16:13:25.639+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-88055766610812247202019-03-11T08:57:54.605+00:002019-03-11T08:57:54.605+00:00RR - I have a similar contraption in my garage.
