| 254.1 | I wish I knew more words | ATFAB::REDDEN | Seeking the Lost Illusion | Thu Oct 02 1986 09:17 | 6 |
| I {like/prefer} to use braces to compensate for my limited
vocabulary. If I can thing of {two/several} words that are
close, but not {quite/exactly} precise, I will put them in
braces with slashes between them. This usually aggravates
the folks around me enough that they will suggest a single
word that would have communicated what they thought I meant.

| I use angle brackets for my <shelves>, but only for this word.
|
| 254.3 | the DEC standard answer? | DELNI::GOLDSTEIN | or someone like him | Thu Oct 02 1986 17:48 | 5 |
| Simple. Angle brackets are used for <TOPS20> directory names.
Curly braces are used for {HPA1500} LNF commands. Not to mention
programs written in C.
They're really just there for hackers, right?

| 254.4 | A point of confusion | SSDEVO::GOLDSTEIN | | Thu Oct 02 1986 19:46 | 5 |
| Parenthetical remarks, which are introduced by the pronoun "which,"
needn't always be placed within parentheses; they are properly set
within commas.

| re .5;
I use "suspenders" to hold up my pants (if I wasn't wearaing a belt).
I had my "braces" removed from my mouth a long time ago.
