RE: Questions about parentheses, brackets
For readers whose first language is not English, it might be worth noting the words have non-mathematical uses too.
In English, one might mention an unimportant detail (like this one) in a parenthetical note. One never refers to a "bracketical" note. Normally, () are used for this. Perhaps more importantly, brackets can be real things - used to affix a TV to a wall, for example. Something to bear in mind before asking your students to remove all unneccessary brackets ?
