You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
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 {}.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
() are brackets, and [] are square brackets, and {} are curly brackets. Parentheses are too much trouble.
My boss left me on hold for twenty minutes from Minnesota. I can't lie, I made the "terribly busy" mime to one person I didn't want to speak to, but I ditched everything for another.
I'm not posting this in the fanfic thread, because it's not a discussion, it's just an opportunity to eyeroll: [link] But, then again, if you got the chance to monetize the "salacious" fanfic concept while pretending you just thought of it, who cares about...it's not even integrity at this point. Cash those fucking cheques and smile.
