Hello Dquglas. Right away I notice that you neglect leaving
a space after almost every word that is followed by a bracket.

Hey! Thanks for your help. And you're right. Are parenthetical comments always kept away from words in the main text? I always thought that parenthetical comments are supposed to be attached to a word in the main body.

There is always a space after any word except for punctuation marks, such as commas, colons, semi-colons, exclamation and question marks, and periods. And maybe dashes- like so. But a dash could also be in between two words separated by a space on either side of the dash - like so. However, a parenthetical remark should always have a space before the parenthesis. I put in over a hundred spaces but I don't know if I can save them :D

Is there anything I should add or take away? Anything that seems unclear?
