English grammar terminology is awfully confusing. The verb 'to parenthesise' means to wrap a phrase in brackets or dashes or commas, thus denoting it as supplementary material that could be left out. A 'parenthesis' as a noun is often used as a synonym for a round bracket.
paste("There were three", parenthesise(3), "mice in the experiment.")
paste(
"I love parmos",
parenthesise("Teesside's finest culinary invention", "en_dashes"),
"but they are sure to give me heart disease."
)
parenthesise(letters[1:5], "curly")
paste0(
"The R language",
parenthesise("an offshoot of S and Scheme", "commas"),
"is quite good for data analysis."
