For instance:
What is the correct way (correct as in without violating elements of style (or any other (English language) writing instruction guide) to use parentheses inside another set of parentheses?
In the example above, it seems extremely awkward to use a second set of parentheses inside an initial or original set of parentheses. I can’t imagine that any style guide would recommend this practice, so there must be suggestions on alternatives.

You’re right about the typo, thank you for alerting me; I have corrected it. (Do you know where any (extremely high) bridges are located nearby?)
No, I don’t know the concrete answer, but organically, I know the awkwardness of the idea certainly must eliminate it from any serious consideration, and therefore a better way to express the idea has to exist.
My post is tongue-in-cheek; no serious writer would espouse such nonsense.
