What punctuation is used with an idea that interrupts a sentence and very noticeable?

For an idea that interrupts a sentence and is very noticeable, you can use parentheses or dashes.

Here's a breakdown:

* Parentheses ( ) are used for information that is less essential to the sentence, almost like an aside. It's considered a softer interruption.

* Example: "The dog (who was very hungry) ate all the food in one go."

* Dashes ( - ) are more emphatic and indicate a stronger interruption. They are used for information that is more important or adds a significant detail.

* Example: "The dog - who was very hungry - ate all the food in one go."

Note: Em dashes are typically longer than hyphens. You can use two hyphens (--) to create an em dash if your keyboard doesn't have a dedicated key.

Important:

* The punctuation within the interruption depends on the type of sentence it creates. If it's a complete sentence, it needs a period. If it's a phrase, it needs no punctuation.

* The punctuation immediately before and after the interruption should be consistent with the type of interruption you choose.
