The "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself).

[xen_]

Why don't you just learn to write English like everyone else (without the need for loads of brackets [as it is quite silly {and makes things almost unreadable}]).

 

[Angus-Higgins]

Explain to my why you need to repeat things you've already told us. It's in the thread title what it's called and that it's named by yourself. So why everytime you say it you have to bracket that it's named by yourself?

I repeat things to make them more accurate (I was told that one should try to make things said understandable if they were said with no contextual understanding assumed [it is also something I think is good]).

Why don't you do the right thing and close this thread to avoid anything like what you mentioned happened. Surely that makes more sense. It's clearly been posted to **** people off as he clearly hasn't been getting the much needed attention he requires of late.

And a NOTE TO EVERYONE - how about not replying to this thread? Just an idea.

No.

This children, is why you dont do crack

I may have encouraged him to post it earlier...

Says you, who seems to have posted?

 

[Mat]

Surely the rest of the world uses footnotes*, not inline brackets to split information that may or may not be interesting or relevant to the poster?

That way the flow of text isnt interrupted and the reader is made aware of further information without it getting in the way.




*such as this one.

 

[Wyrdo]

Use punctuation.

I don't know if this has been asked or answered before but what do your parents think of your ways of communicating?

It's no more accurate if you tell us once. If I tell you my car is red everytime I ever mention my car to you I don't have to tell you it's red as you already know. If I told you once or a million times you know it's red.

Learn to write English properly and you won't need so many brackets. You will find there are plenty of other, albeit standardised, grammatical methods to inject more detail into your sentences.

They ("they" being my parents) do not like the "bracket system", or "bracketing system" (as named by myself). (They said to me that it makes me look very odd [disabled {even}]).

Your last bit baffles me as you say it can be more effiecient for the reader but it wholly isn't. You seem to think people can just block stuff out that's in brackets if they don't want to read but it's nigh on impossible to do so. The reader has to scan past it to get to parts which you think they desire and brackets just add too much clutter. Now if readers had swanky multi colur filtering glasses on then maybe your posting style would work(if you used colours[instead of brackets{.}])

 

[fini]

I do not believe your explanation, I believe this is an attempt to troll the forums. You know how people feel about your bracketing system - you have already had many threads that have gone off topic and become devoted to the topic of this bracketing system. This thread, IMHO is thus an attempt to greater stir up the negative response this forum normally gives your brackets. That is my opinion.

 

[neil3k]

Taking the urine now Angus.

 

[paradigm]

The only thing I want to say to Aberdeen Angus would get me a holiday.

The whole thing is just laughable though, and god help him when he comes to meet women, or just have a normal social life at all.

para(d[i{g}]m).


EDIT: You are on my ignore list by the way, I only chose to show the first post just to see how much of an abomination it was.

 

[divine`]

You wouldn't need a stupid system if you possessed any ability at all to utilise the English language properly, punctuate properly and structure properly.

Go back to school.

 

[Defcon5]

I have figured out that the amount of brackets used by the poster is inversley proportionate to the amount of friends the poster has.

 

[Mephisto]

Angus Higgins

LMAO. If your PARENTS are saying you look disabled then something is definitely wrong.

 

[Memphis]

It might have been funny at first, now, it's not.

Just post normally. Why post in such a stupid way just to stand out? Nobody likes it.

No. (I believe it will allow people to understand it better [people encouraged me to post this {I would not have done it without this encouragement (as I have discussed the topic [with the afore-given explanation] on another forum)}]).
