meara, when I've heard "wrong side of the road" being used it's been said by smug Americans who think they're being witty about their travel experiences. It's not witty, it just sounds provincial.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

I laughed too, le nubian.
So, company that is trying to woo me to quit consulting and work full time... I had lunch with a couple of people in (what would be) my department on Tuesday and it went well. They gave me a tour of the place, talked it up, yadda yadda. Formal interviews have been set for next Tuesday and I received the 5-page application (that accompanies the CV) and it wants salary history. God I hate that. I have nothing to cover up, but I still feel like it's none of their business. Have written to my friend (and former colleague) the VP there to see if she listed hers when she interviewed before she came aboard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Y'all said () weren't brackets. Did you not mean to imply it was in any way wrong for me to call those brackets? It was somewhere on the continuum of neutral to correct?

Because books.
Here's what I should have said, I guess. You asked at some point if we couldn't call everything brackets and be done with it. And I was trying to explain that brackets and parentheses are two different things in the U.S. You can call them all whatever you want.
