Hey, can someone editty help me right my write wrongs?
I'm not sure how to punctuate parentheses (I swear we just called them brackets--is that a British thing?) properly. If I'm interjecting with a sentence fragment, do I capitalise the first word? What if it's multi-sentence? Do I capitalise the first word then? Do I need to terminate the final sentence with appropriate punctuation? Can I ever put a parenthetical (I guess you couldn't really have a bracketed remark--it does sound lame) remark after a sentence? And then there's no punctuation after that, is there?
I'd need to see the sentence you're trying to punctuate.

So the internet can shut down now, I guess.

These are brackets: [ ]
Also, like Amy said, I'd need to see the sentence. Parenthetical interjections are weird things.
Give us the sentence, ita !. I need some distraction from, uh, the editing I'm already doing.
These are curly brackets: {} So cute!

Great googly FSM, yes. The story about the kangaroo and the woman with the stroke nearly killed me.
It's not a particular sentence, it's probably every third post of mine.
We're having an all IT meeting (to which I'm late, despite attending remotely. I don't know if they'll take back the award if they know I accepted without pants.) which means another ninety minutes of "together" time on top of the three hours yesterday. I don't know if I can take all of this. Markedly easier while home of course.
So--like that. Or any of a million other ways.
Oh, god, they just showed some of the photos from yesterday's scavenger hunt. The "item" was spelling out the word "spy" on the ground with your bodies. It is not pretty.
NYC currently has a large hail warning.
Weather moving in might take out my swim tonight. Heard rumbles on the way home, so it is definitely not happening right now. Eating dinner now in hopes that I'll get lucky later.
If I ever knew how to use parentheses properly, I've long forgotten. So I just use them all willy-nilly-like.
