User:Msh210/A Malnourishment of Modesty

=A Malnourishment of Modesty= by Rabbi Avi Shafran

In one of his wonderful collections of essays (The Youngest Science: Notes of a Medicine-Watcher), the late physician Lewis Thomas tells of a highly successful doctor (a senior citizen back when Dr. Thomas' father was an intern) in New York's Roosevelt Hospital who was trained before the medical profession understood how disease spreads.

The elder doctor was renowned for his remarkable ability to diagnose typhoid fever, a common disease at that time and place. His method was to closely examine the tongues of patients. His ward rounds, the younger Dr. Thomas recounts, "were essentially tongue rounds." Each patient would stick out his tongue for the doctor to palpate. Pondering its texture and irregularities, he would diagnose the disease "in its earliest stages over and over again" and turn out, "a week or so later, to have been right, to everyone's amazement."

The essayist wryly concludes: "He was a more productive carrier, using only his hands, than Typhoid Mary."

I was reminded of the account by another, more recent, example of the Law of Unintended Consequences, a report that New York's elected officials want to revoke the "Rockefeller Laws." Enacted in 1973 as a popular response to the societal plague of narcotics use at the time, those statutes, championed by New York's then-governor Nelson Rockefeller, imposed mandatory prison sentences for drug offenders. Similar laws were soon adopted elsewhere.

Over ensuing decades, though, the laws in other states were revoked, and now New York's governor and legislative leaders have announced their intention to repeal many of the original "Rockefeller Laws," giving judges the authority to send first-time nonviolent offenders for treatment instead of to prison.

What provoked the abandonment of those drug laws was that in the wake of their enactment both New York's prison population and its percentage of incarcerated drug offenders more than tripled. The attendant costs were not only financial but human: minorities and women were disproportionately affected, and recreational drug users who entered the prison system left it as hardened criminals.

It is sobering to consider that our best laid plans, even when born of sincere concern and seeming logic, can turn against us. The sobriety should impart, if nothing else, a modicum of modesty, a reluctance to feel as certain as we so often do that the paths we choose will lead where we want.

There are, of course, certainties in life, deep convictions that we rightly embrace without reservation. Religious Jews, for instance, affirm that Creation has a purpose and that the goals of their own lives are defined by G-d's will as communicated through the Torah. We may also consider close to certain the measured judgments in specific realms of others whom we believe to be wiser than we are, be they doctors, lawyers or religious leaders. But to proclaim our own independent, personal certitude about a political or social position, to assume that any of us can know without question that a particular political philosophy, foreign policy, government official or piece of legislation is good (or bad) is, always, in the end, an exercise in overreaching.

To be sure, we have every right to make our personal analyses and to take positions on such people and things, to advocate what we think is wise and to make the cases for our opinions. But as we do, it is beneficial to have in the backs of our minds — or perhaps their fronts — a recognition of the fact that, for all our brights and best laid logic, we might still… possibly… be… wrong.

And that realization is of more than philosophical import. It has a vital and practical ramification in the realm of human interaction, along the lines of the Talmudic statement that "just as people's faces all differ, so do their minds." For it requires us to perceive those with different views as, well, people with different views, not as illogical, intractable, irredeemable enemies of all that is good and right.

Unfortunately, newsprint, airwaves and cyberspace are saturated with precisely that latter sort of demagoguery. And contrary to the claims of some of its enthusiasts, such "free speech" does not promote healthy, productive disagreement and discussion; it suffocates them.

Contemporary society suffers from a malnourishment of modesty. It is evident not only in the realm of the physical — in contemporary dress and mores — but in attitudes toward issues as well. There is so little that any of us can truly know; yet so certain are so many of so much.

And so, suffused with self-assurance, the cavalier march forward, their points of view extended before them like bayonet tips. Confident of the infallibility of their judgment, the righteousness of their causes and the dire threat posed by others' perspectives, they generously share not only their conclusions but their ill will, every bit as effectively as a doctor at a New York hospital once propagated a different disease.

That page contains the information for various categories, such as which parent they should go in and what description to show. If it's changed, several categories would be affected, but in this case I think that's for the better. I've made the change myself now, you can see what I did. Note that now, Category:Wauja suffixes has a different description, but so do Category:English suffixes, Category:German suffixes and so on. This is why this templated category system is useful; it allows all the categories to be changed simultaneously from one central location.

Re "Showing a request for a term is pointless. How are people supposed to know what term is meant?": From context. Or from any other information that may be indicated, such as the translation. See Zira.


text:
Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Term placeholders/requests/reply

I can't tell from context what is meant there. It seems more like a crossword puzzle to me. "Guess the word that means X and sounds like Y." Besides, the module is used very generally; we don't want to remove the error checking just for a few specific cases. It's not worth it.


text:
Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Term placeholders/requests/reply (2)

That's the whole point. You might not know the word, but someone else who stumbles upon the page (perhaps by browsing through the category) might know. Either from the idea that it has to be similar to "Zira" or from the translation, or both. If it's an error, then it would still be caught by the editor or whoever is browsing the category. And who ever said it's only for specific cases? This could be used very widely. It hasn't been only because the template hasn't allowed it.

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to Wiktionary, and thank you for your contributions so far.

If you are unfamiliar with wiki editing, take a look at Help:How to edit a page. It is a concise list of technical guidelines to the wiki format we use here: how to, for example, make text boldfaced or create hyperlinks. Feel free to practice in the sandbox. If you would like a slower introduction we have a short tutorial.

These links may help you familiarize yourself with Wiktionary:

 * Entry layout explained (ELE) is a detailed policy documenting how Wiktionary pages should be formatted. All entries should conform to this standard. The easiest way to start off is to copy the contents of an existing page for a similar word, and then adapt it to fit the entry you are creating.
 * Our Criteria for inclusion (CFI) define exactly which words can be added to Wiktionary, though it may be a bit technical and longwinded. The most important part is that Wiktionary only accepts words that have been in somewhat widespread use over the course of at least a year, and citations that demonstrate usage can be asked for when there is doubt.
 * If you already have some experience with editing our sister project Wikipedia, then you may find our guide for Wikipedia users useful.
 * The FAQ aims to answer most of your remaining questions, and there are several help pages that you can browse for more information.
 * A glossary of our technical jargon, and some hints for dealing with the more common communication issues.

Hebrew entries
I noticed you've been doing some work on our Hebrew entries. This is much appreciated! However, it would be helpful if you followed our formatting standards. See WT:HE TR for our Hebrew transliteration rules. In general, pay attention to my corrections of your edits and learn from them and you should do fine. --WikiTiki89 21:38, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi, would like to remind you again to follow the transliteration rules given at WT:HE TR. Also, please check a dictionary before adding nikkud, since you seem to be making a lot of mistakes. --WikiTiki89 02:02, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Don't mind WikiTiki. He means well, but his zeal for correct transliteration is misapplied. (For real, Wiki, how often do people come along who care about editing Hebrew? B"R 70:5, dude.)
 * Anyway, we use WT:HE TR to try to be simple and consistent. I've never been a big fan of the transliteration system we use, so I'd understand if you don't like it and don't want to use it. If that's the case my advice would be to just not do transliteration at all. I have two reasons for this: 1) eventually someone else will probably come along and do it, and if not, niqud are sufficient; and 2) Wiktionary needs a lot of work in Hebrew entries − transliteration is least among them. —  [Ric Laurent] — 14:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually agree. I don't like our transliteration system, but for now it is the one we use and it is better to be consistent. If you don't want to follow our transliteration system, just leave the transliteration out. But much more important is the correct nikkud, so please check a dictionary if you are unsure, rather than adding the wrong nikkud. --WikiTiki89 15:19, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Leaving the transliteration out is what I've been doing, but I'm not sure if I should add the terms to Category:Hebrew terms lacking transliteration or not. Enoshd (talk) 12:15, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 * There's no need; I think the templates do it automagically. —  [Ric Laurent] — 12:21, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, you don't need to add the category manually. It is added automatically by the headword template if the transliteration is missing. --WikiTiki89 23:09, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If automatic transliteration can be made for over, say 70% of entries, then an automatic (with no override) transliteration should be made and used, allowing for manual transliteration where necessary, like Arabic. If, e.g. kamats is transliterated as "a" in a vast majority of cases, then it could be default, "o" can be added manually, where necessary. Automatic transliteration would ensure that more standard (whatever the current standard is) transliterations is used and a change to the module will automatically update changes, e.g. if "š" is chosen of "sh" for שׁ. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:00, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm tempted to say that could probably work, though it would take time and I don't know how to do it. But I wouldn't encourage anyone to tackle that mission anyway; looking at what auto-translit does to Yiddish churns my tum. lol —  [Ric Laurent] — 09:06, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Ric. User:Benwing, User:Wyang, User:Kephir or [[User:CodeCat might be able to do it, if they have time and interest. Yiddish auto-translit is overridable with the manual one, so is Arabic, Russian and so should (definitely) be Hebrew. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:44, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The translit module part is easy, in fact it's already there. I think what Dick/Ric was referring to was the enormous task of making sure every entry that needs a translit override has one. --WikiTiki89 00:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The module needs a lot of work, I did it based on the About Hebrew page and I don't know Hebrew. An important feature of the Arabic module is that it only transliterates vocalised Arabic, missing diacritics in the middle of words returns nothing, which should be also implemented with Hebrew, not sure about Yiddish. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:02, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Re: "enormous task of making sure every entry that needs a translit override has one". Agreed. Are there distinct situations (characters, combinations), which should be paid attention to as a priority, like kamats? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:07, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the problem is kamats is the most common vowel. I suppose a good indicator would be an unstressed kamats followed by a shva or dagesh. We would also need to start indicating non-final stress in the Hebrew text, with either a meteg or 'ole. The problem with that is that there are font problems when the meteg is next to a vowel written below and when the 'ole is next to a vowel written above. --WikiTiki89 01:30, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It seems word stress is another serious issue. Is it absolutely required and is it a common practice to indicate it in Hebrew dictionaries? Are your suggested methods (meteg, etc.) used elsewhere or is it just a workaround you suggest? (I'm not against it, just asking, a similar approach could potentially be used for Sanskrit, where word stress is unpredictable but normally not used in the Devanagari script). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I know kamats is a very common vowel but "o" reading is not that common, is it? --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 01:41, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * It is common practice in Hebrew to indicate non-final stress with a meteg in situations where it is necessary (mostly only in dictionary headwords, siddurim, etc.). The 'ole is less common for this purpose (I've only seen it in linguistic books about Biblical Hebrew). While the "o" reading of kamats is not that common, I think that it is actually more common than "a" when it is followed by a shva, which is why such a situation would be a good indicator. --WikiTiki89 02:18, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

 * The "o" reading of kamats does not occur much in Modern Hebrew because those words are written with a vav to indicate the "o". Presumably you're talking about Biblical Hebrew? I also thought the purpose of meteg was to indicate a long vowel, and used in conjunction with kamats it indicates the "a" reading along with a following vocal shva. Benwing (talk) 04:58, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually the Academy of the Hebrew Language recommends writing words in which a kamats katan does not interchange with kholam (for example ) without a vav. And also in properly vowelated Modern Hebrew kamats katan is written without a vav. And even when it is written with a vav, the underlying vowel is still a kamats katan. So you can't really say it "does not occur much in Modern Hebrew". Also we treat Biblical and Modern Hebrew as the same language. As I said, there are two ways to indicate stress in Hebrew. The more common one is just using the meteg to indicate stress and the less common one is using the 'ole to indicate stress and the meteg indicate long vowels in order to distinguish the kamatses and shvas. The latter method is nowadays mostly restricted to linguistic or non-Jewish literature about Biblical Hebrew and most Israelis would be unfamiliar with it. --WikiTiki89 05:43, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome!
And thank you for adding more Hebrew!

The regulars can be asses sometimes (see my talk page for examples as well), but they mostly mean well and just become too curt over time. If you can pick up or agree with their conventions, that's great and makes everything smoother. If they're rude or wrong, just ignore them or (if you can find it) add your voice to the conversations about establishing conventions (as above). Still, as long as you're not vandalizing or spreading misinformation, we can always clean up the formatting later and we do really appreciate your help. Hebrew and Arabic are very underserved here.

Another consideration (if you're adding entries and not already doing this) is to include the Hebrew to the translation sections of the English words as well. — LlywelynII  04:04, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Others like שנא
Can you think offhand of any others like that have tsere in the past tense instead of kamats? —  Z. [ קהת ] b"A. — 15:00, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * ,, --WikiTiki89 15:34, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Those three also have the present tense, unlike . --WikiTiki89 15:35, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * All right... I'm trying to figure out if there are enough to warrant a special switch function, or just enough to add overrides... Hm. —  Z. [ קהת ] b"A. — 16:17, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Those are all the ל״א קָטֵל verbs listed in Tarmon and Uval's Hebrew Verb Tables (see the first two links at User:Wikitiki89). --WikiTiki89 17:10, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

חודשי

Hebrew declensions
Please make sure you add accurate and complete information to the template, otherwise it will generate garbage like נַחָלְךָ. Don't forget to preview the table and make sure the forms are correct before saving. See, for example, my corrections at נחל. --WikiTiki89 17:17, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you think that while going over Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:tracking/he-noun/param-and-paramwv I should try to add for most terms or not. Enosh (talk) 18:36, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. We should try to have them for terms that are actually used with possessive suffixes. --WikiTiki89 18:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Hebrew root romanization
Hi. I've noticed that you transliterate ה as "_" in ל׳ה roots, so e.g. ג־ל־ה is romanized as "g-l-_" instead of "g-l-h". I am not familiar with this convention and it seems strange to me. Could you perhaps explain it? —Pinnerup (talk) 19:12, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I haven't been transliterating ה like that (not that I remember at least) but there was someone who did before I started (Wikitiki89 might remember), so I can't really help you with the logic. I can guess maybe to distinguish from הּ or because it isn't pronounced. —Enosh (talk) 07:29, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The final ה in the root is not an actual "h". Scholars will give the root as ג־ל־י. Personally I think there are a lot of issues with transliterating roots so whenever I add them myself I leave them untransliterated. --WikiTiki89 18:56, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Thread:User talk:CodeCat/How are you speeding up MewBot?

I notice that MewBot saves on the order of 20-30 changes per minute. I'm using a modified version of your blib for my bot, but every time it saves a page, it sleeps on the order of 5-8 secs, and I end up with only 5-7 changes per minute. This is using the page.save function. Apparently you must be disabling throttling or using some API that doesn't throttle, or at least throttles less? t notice some scripts using page.put or page.put_async, and the code text = page.get(throttle=False), but I'm not sure how to directly control throttling, nor am I sure what the difference between page.save, page.put and page.put_async is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I do not want to give up so easily.

I managed to speed it up a bit by adding some simple caching. The subjective responsiveness was comparable, despite the requests taking three times as long (with the majority of the time apparently spent executing the Lua code). Not sure if it helps. I think some caching on the server side would.

(I have also tried the scribunto-console API just out of curiosity; the overhead seems comparable, and often worse.)

I also thought about creating a JS library which would manage a much more sophisticated cache of language data and various code-name mappings. It would be a longer-term project, though.

Talk:Old Man Winter

Humanization of winter

 * So what's your beef with the verification's ? WritersCramp (talk) 17:46, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Apart from the fact there are only two of them, that they cite the first sense (which is unchallenged) and not the second sense (which is challenged). If you define humanization as a synonym of personification then the two senses are identical, which is why I removed the second one, but you've added it back. Quite simply, what distinction are you trying to make? Renard Migrant (talk) 17:51, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Humanize is the root word for Humanization. You requested citations and I gave them to you.  Humanization is a correct and accurate definition for "Old Man Winter".  Do you want to combine them both into one definition?  "Personification and humanization of winter".  I can live with that, otherwise the +tag comes down.  It is up to you.  WritersCramp (talk) 17:58, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You can't just de-tag it unilaterally without citations. Plus, when there are three citations we need to check which sense they support. Why do you think the rules do not apply to you? Have you read humanize or humanization? Renard Migrant (talk) 18:00, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

RFV discussion: November–December 2014
Rfv-sense: "humanization of winter". Humanization says act of humanizing. Humanize says: To make human, to give or cause to have the fundamental properties of a human. To convert into something human or belonging to humans. I'm very curious for a start to know which of these definitions WritersCramp is referring to. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Neither. Winter is not something which can be turned into a person, but it can be talked about as if it were a person. personification or anthropomorphization are correct. (And I wonder if anthropomorphization is what was meant in the contested sense.) --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 23:08, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd use . It's easier to spell and pronounce than . —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 23:31, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * To be clear, this sense is supposedly distinct from the "personification of winter" sense, which is also in the entry. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:39, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * And what's the difference? --WikiTiki89 23:57, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * A personification is a fictional person which stands in for a non-person: The Grim Reaper is the personification of Death, Neptune is a personification of the sea, Uncle Sam is a personification of the United States of America.
 * An anthropomorphization is where you describe or treat a non-person as if it were a person. Describing a meteor as "punching" the ground, or a plant as "longing for sunlight". Or else ascribing human motivations: assuming that a cat is sitting on your lap "because she loves me", or a car as "it wants to go faster". In the case of Old Man Winter, I take it back: this is a personification, pure and simple. It ascribes a human persona to a phenomenon, without necessarily saying anything about motivation. --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 00:27, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The way I learned it, the two things you describe are both personification anyway. --WikiTiki89 20:02, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Just make the change to personification. Pur ple back pack 89   00:30, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I did that and the user undid my edit. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I didn't think RfV was for settling content disputes... Pur ple back pack 89  16:49, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Not quite sure what you mean. I'm disputing the existence of this sense. If you're saying it should be speedily deleted, I've already done that, if I do it again I'm in danger of edit warring. Let me put it another way; if RFV is not for disputing content, what is it for? Renard Migrant (talk) 17:15, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Attesting it. RfV answers the question, "can sources back up this being said?"  Content disputes answer the question, "what should be said?"  You can have a content dispute between two verifiable definitions. Just because both definitions can be verified doesn't mean both should be kept (meaning, in this case, that sourcing "humanization" will not end the content dispute, and may actually make it worse).  Notice the position I've taken on this entry.  My position is that "humanization" should be changed to "personification", regardless of whether or not humanization can be sourced.  I am saying that on the premise that humanization and personification are enough alike that we only need a definition that deals with one of them, and prefer that of personification. Pur ple back pack 89   19:57, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If you look above, my initial concern was non-existence, not redundancy to definition #1. Renard Migrant (talk) 13:35, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I think the distinction WritersCramp is trying to go for is a distinction between Old Man Winter as a metaphor and Old Man Winter as an actual character in folklore. If so, humanization is not the right word to use. I couldn't find any entries where we make this distinction (so there's no separate sense at Cupid for "Personification of the act of falling in love", no sense at Mars for "Personification of war"), although perhaps we should. Smurrayinchester (talk) 15:20, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how much value is added by having a distinction that most users would not grasp. But, if there are citations to support the distinction and if we can have usage examples that understandably illustrate the distinction, why not give it try? DCDuring TALK 17:23, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * WritersCramp has added two citations. I think they actually cite a sense of humanize that we lack, which is 'to personify', hence this would be the same as 'personification of winter', which we have and is not challenged. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:44, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Renard is a lazy +tag spammer. I have discussed the matter on the Old Man Winter discussion page. Thanks WritersCramp (talk) 18:26, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Wanting something to be correct is lazy is it? Well I wish you were a bit lazier you might make some correct entries. Still not cited as the citations do not unambiguously support this definition. #3 seems like a mention not a use. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:28, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I'd say that personification is sufficient to cover all the cites, despite the (non-standard) usage of humanisation in two of them. We don't want to add second definitions to Mother Earth, Mother Nature etc. do we?    D b f  i  r  s   14:31, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Is this going to RFD as redundant or are we still wanting to look for cites first? Renard Migrant (talk) 13:26, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

 * As Canard has been informed and the three quotations at the definition support using "personification" and "humanization" are not redundant. Thank you WritersCramp (talk) 11:54, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Your above post isn't grammatical, and I can't make sense of what you're trying to say.
 * Past that, the distinction between and, as used in the  entry, is completely unclear -- the two senses look entirely redundant.  Without any clear distinction, there is zero utility in having two senses listed.
 * I move to delete the second sense. Whether or not it's citable is entirely beside the point -- as illustrated in the entry, the "humanization" of winter and the "personification" of winter are the same thing.  ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 18:48, 19 November 2014 (UTC

 * To attempt to reach a happy middle ground, I have combined the two definitions into one. Just to clarify how I see it the two definitions for Humanization: to represent as human and Personification: an imaginary person that represents a thing or idea; the practice of representing a thing or idea as a person in art, literature, etc. reflect the differences between the words, which supports the inclusion of both words in the definition. Thanks WritersCramp (talk) 12:09, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't see the difference, using those words, between a humanization of winter and a personification of winter; they both give winter human form, and winter is inherently a thing or idea.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:04, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

 * RFV failed: I see no quotations attesting a "humanization" sense as distinct from a "personification" sense. As per above, avoiding the word "humanization" in the definition and using "personification" seems to be supported by Renard Migrant, Angr, Purplebackpack89, Smurrayinchester, and Dbfirs; I also support this manner of closure. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:parenthesis

Via Middle French
This doesn't really make any sense since the English spelling is parenthesis and the Middle French spelling is parenthese. The -is ending can only come from parenthesis. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:48, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Double and triple
Should we have double parenthesis/double parentheses and triple parenthesis/triple parentheses pages to define per triple parentheses ?

 * Edit: I just realized I overlooked the existing page because I incorrectly pluralized it. So my question is narrowed to whether we should define "double"

https://mic.com/articles/144228/echoes-exposed-the-secret-symbol-neo-nazis-use-to-target-jews-online mentions:
 * In the early days of the social web, putting someone's name in multiple parentheses was meant to give that person a cute virtual hug.

In the example it actually uses a double rather than triple in Weisman's example:
 * "Hello ((Weisman))," it began

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/dblparens.html shows the double has some application in coding too.

I assume we would define these by the words rather than () or (()) though they could make useful redirects?

 * Edit: I just noticed we have ()...

Should we redirect the spaceless version to the spaced version? 16:21, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
