Sine of the times.

This may explain why sin^2(x) cannot mean sin(sin(x)), I wish it did.
Notation were already taken long time ago.

Although, the statement itself, without punctuation as you have it can mean two things:

Sine of x squared: (sin(x))²
Sine of x squared: sin(x²)

But Sine of the square of x describes the order: first take the square of x. Then take the sine of that value,

Whereas The square of the sine of x means to take the sine of x then square that value.
