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.
Holy crap, that post has 624 notes, and we have 178 followers! Woot.
Holy Moses, Jesse, I missed that "Good Things" post. Now I can't stop crying!
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?
ita, what do you call [ ] ?
When Kittennnnns attaaack!
That was just exactly what I needed.

Thank Vortex!
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.
In my lexicon:
() are "round brackets" or "parentheses."
[] are "square brackets."
{} are "curly brackets" or "braces."
<> are "angle brackets" or "less than-greater than."
"brackets" without a qualifier is ambiguous between () and [].
I make absolutely no claims about my lexicon's applicability to the city, state, region, country, continent or planet on which I currently reside. Your mileage may vary; void where prohibited, standard disclaimers apply. This post is for entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute legal or medical advice.

Interesting- for me "brackets" without qualifier is semi ambigious between [] and {}.
