[Brackets]

KilroyKilroy timaeusTestifiedRegistered User regular
Let's talk about brackets!

Did you know that bracket is a generic term that refers to many kinds of punctuation marks? It's true! The marks commonly called brackets are properly named square brackets. There are also...

(Parentheses!)

{Braces!}

⟨Chevrons!⟩

「Corner brackets!」

⌊Half brackets!⌋

and ⟦double brackets!⟧

What is your favorite bracket? Mine is the good old reliable [square bracket]

    Corner brackets apparently don't show up for me on this browser.

    As for the new forum brackets, are the colors random? I'm seeing red, blue, green, and purple.

    half brackets are used in english to denote added text

    they can also be used in the transcription of ancient documents to denote text that was missing in the original but confirmed by another source

    My favourite brackets are March Madness brackets.

    I'm assuming the end goal here is to drop the bracket text from the titles and just have them in their colored spaces? Cause I think I'd be cool with that.

    Same. I don't like seeing the bracket text duplicated as a tag. One or the other please.

    Brak-Kitt? Don't you mean...

    [[Here I was going to include a picture of the most notable person I could find with the last name "Brack" next to a picture of "ET". Unfortunately, the most notable person named Brack is apparently Viktor Brack...a Nazi war criminal.

    Fucking Nazis, ruining my bad jokes.]]

    (Also, what type of brackets was that aside supposed to be in? What about this one?)

    Does any language beyond Japanese use corner brackets as a common punctuation?
