Which GD'er would you swap places with?

[Iron Man]

Gibbo so I can update prices for one day

 

[Derek W]

Who’s the poster who took someone to KFC in a van or can get a MAC in under 18 seconds?

That'll be the Tony Williams experience and asim18

 

[Vanquish-Storm]

Ahh that’s them…. Yeah neither of them

 

[alexakasloth]

Angus Higgins(?){[the brackets guy]just so I can see what is going on in there}.

 

[Em3bbs]

dLockers, as I'd love to know what it's like to know everything.

 

[mid_gen]

I know a couple in here live in NZ.
I'd swap with them. To live in NZ!

Dude with the house on a clifftop in NZ. Yes please.

Congratulations on a (rare) correct usage of Angus-Higgins' bracketing system (as named by himself [which is often misused {and misunderstood} (on this forum)}]).

Is the "on this forum" meant to be bracketed there?

Not the "full" Tony Williams experience?

Is the "on this forum" meant to be bracketed there?

Yes indeed, (it is). The use of the phrase "on this forum" is not a vital part of the sentence, since Angus-Higgin's bracketing system (as named by himself) may well have been utilised elsewhere (on the internet [and maybe outside of it {also}]). The brackets allow one to go into increasing levels of detail, and one can choose how much detail one reads into a topic. This is why Angus-Higgins' bracketing system (as named by himself) is so unique (and complex [potentially]), though the uniqueness and effectiveness (of the system [and complexity {thereof}] relies on the author having a relatively high understanding of English comprehension (and punctuation) lest the sentence fall into disarray (and [more commonly] inaccuracies).

However, if used correctly, the system is a very strong tool for controlling detail levels (within sentences) [and larger paragraphs {of course}]). I feel that one has to be (somewhere) on the spectrum to write in this way (regularly), since doing so is (rather) tedious and time-consuming, but then maybe I am (on the spectrum [a bit {since some members here think I'm weird (anyway [and regardless {of this fact (apparently)}])}]).

EDIT: reason: brackets

I can't figure out if it's helpful or confusing!

I think the tricky bit is holding in your head the previous brackets. I mean at end of your paragraph there are 7 closes!

 

[RxR]

Tis a system for hierarchical digressions.

Oh, it's definitely confusing. And really time-consuming to write in that way, which is why it never caught on. In fact, as far as I recall, Angus mentioned, and showed, the system to his parents, who apparently said it made him look very odd "or even disabled".

 

[DXP55]

I would swop with anyone in USA so I could have a go with loads and loads and loads and loads - loads -loads -loads -loads of guns - guns guns and more guns.

Failing that Teenwolf to see whats in his head.

The problem is that you actually have to read everything to see whether you need to read it or not which somewhat negates the purpose.

Well, sort of. I personally always skip brackets in a sentence since I feel they disrupt the flow. I then go back and read them if I feel I have to.

 

[Feek]

I find my eyes scan past looking for the end brackets and if I'm scanning part words, I read them.

OCUK myth with the Mac10, he said he knew people who could get one and to be honest so do I, or I did.

 

[Irish_Tom]

LeeUK for the lottery gainz.
