I posted links inside parenthesis on twitter.  when they show up on you plugin, however, the t.co links include the final ). 

are you doing the t.co shortening yourself? if so, can there be an option to turn if off?  the twitter site and other clients are not showing t.co links like the plugin is.

thanks!

There is no shortening script within this plugin.

FYI, Twitter will automatically shortened your link with t.co shortening if your link exceed 19 characters.
Here's the further announcement regarding this issue:

Hi there, im using Xhanch - My Twitter WP 2.6.7 plugin to show my latest tweets in all my blogs, i maintain several blogs. All is working ok, but the clickable short URL, the link appears to be OK, but its including the last parenthesis on the url, and when you click on it shows an error page, below i show an example:

Novo post: LA CELEBRACIÓN DE LA NAVIDAD EN ESPAÑA ( http://t.co/FqjahCuV) - publicado en 30/12/2011

When i click on the link, the url that appears on the browser is this: http://t.co/FqjahCuV ) causing an error.

Well, ill appreciate some help on this. Thanks a lot.

I've moved your issue here since I assume that your issue is similar to this topic.
You can read the explanation above

Anyway, your shortened link ( http://t.co/FqjahCuV ) won't cause an error.
That link will redirect to your actual URL.
