I think you need some more details with your rules here. Remember, you have up to 150 words to explain this.

I think you have a good idea, however I would have liked to see an example or two.

I like your rule Jodie. The next time I write a science research term paper, I'll try the dashes instead of (). My nutrition journals tend to use () to separate some long parenthetical phrases. My focus is somewhat disrupted while reading their research and have to go back and re-read their first thought.
