 Re: parenthesis and reading aloud
If it's just 'see figure one' I think you don't have to read it when you read aloud. If it's actual information "John grew up in Roswell, New Mexico (the location of the supposed UFO crash) and always believed that his English teacher was an alien." Then I'd read in the information in the parenthesis with a little bit more pause before and after than if it were set of by commas.
You posted this in 2005. What did you wind up deciding? Do you read this stuff out loud now, or don't you?
