Writing In Whisper

a: Parentheses ~
b: cupping your hands

What: "My mom told me something that has stuck with me through the years. 'Surrounding something with parentheses is like cupping your hands and whispering the words. Surrounding the same thing by em dashes is like holding your arms out and shouting it.'"
