Reply to comment by Al_Jazzar in Secrets of the Dead: Resurrecting Richard III (2014) Recreating Richard's training and armour with a modern day person with the same condition to see if he could have been a fearsome warrior, despite the curvature of his spine. An excellent companion to the recent movie, The Lost King. [00:55:39] by Chris_in_Lijiang

Reply to Killer in the Village (1983) - An eerie BBC documentary about the early days of the impending AIDS epidemic. Primarily shot in NYC. Lots of great interviews with patients, street scenes, cultural references. [00:54:46] by flatblack79

Unfortunately, the victims were only able to call for help with a message in a bottle.

When you say brackets are you referring to parentheses, these ( )? This is so confusing. In the US, these are brackets [ ] and these are parentheses ( ). But apparently in other places brackets by itself means parentheses unless specified, “square brackets” for example. I never knew that

How about this from Merriam-Webster. They use that in other countries right?

“a : one of a pair of marks [ ] used in writing and printing to enclose matter or in mathematics and logic as signs of aggregation”

This is the only relevant definition. So, people might call it that where you’re from, but its unspecific and parentheses is still a word there.

Please don't use homophobic jokes when trying to condemn others for their homophobic comments.

THE PERSON EVEN CORRECTED THEMSELF. brackets, just brackets, mean these [], apparently in non-us English ( ) can be called curved brackets. Go fucking ask somebody in a other threat what “brackets” are. Just brackets. I would bet you anything the majority of people will say []. Now I know that in other countries just “brackets” can mean parentheses. But parentheses is clearly more specific, more easily understood, and it’s what the op meant to say. As a matter of fact, go ask the fucking op if they meant brackets or parentheses.

The issue isn’t that they can be called parentheses, it’s that you said using the word brackets was wrong. Which it isn’t.

Literally Google it. The person even acknowledged that they meant to say parentheses.

“Parentheses are the curved brackets "( )". They are also called round brackets, curved brackets, oval brackets, or, colloquially, parens.”

So, parentheses mean the same thing in non American English.

Because it’s annoying to “correct” people on their English when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Edit: 🙄

“As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word "bracket" is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region. In most English-speaking countries, an unqualified word "bracket" refers to the parenthesis (round bracket); in the United States, the square bracket.”
