However, in other cases, for instance in (3), the result of just removing the symbols would be strange, ungrammatical, or even incomprehensible. In this particular case, (2), we get an acceptable result if we just remove the parentheses (i.e. If we remove the entire parenthesis from (1) above, we thus get the acceptable and understandable (2): (2) This example is intended to illustrate the use of parentheses. Such parenthetical information, which can be of different types, is not necessary in order to understand the text, and a sentence that contains parenthetical information must be complete and understandable even if the parenthetical information is removed (this does not mean, by the way, that the sentence must make sense if only the actual parentheses are removed).
