> There is no greater joy in life than typing a sentence and realising it needs a clarification, a caveat, an addendum (in the same sentence, not a new one) and guess what? Parentheses are right there for you.

That's what I'd do. Note the conversion of the first comma to "and," as well.

The parentheses bind tightly to "an addendum" and change the meaning

Not with my brain's precedence parsing rules.

I like this. It feels like more a person talking and less like a prepared speech.

That might lead to a lisp singularity.
