Don, > It's a word that's not in common usage, but I do hear it now and then. Hi! Why do you say that "parenthetically" is not in common usage? Are you sure you meant to say "common usage" or did you mean to say that you don't hear it used that much? There is a difference. A word that is "not in common usage" is generally antiquated, obsolete, and not recognized by the dictionary as a proper form of the word. Many "Olde English" words fall into this category. However, the word "parenthetically" is in common usage, even if you don't hear it used that often. 😎 Dom Fontana –> Sent from NY via AP <–
