Hmm... I once learned
'()' =: parenthesis/es
'[]' =: bracket(s)
'{}' =: brace(s)
Of course, I'm not a native English speaker, and my teacher(s) /
teaching material may have been biased ... but, as all three
symbol pairs play an important role in R, I think it would be
really really helpful, if we could agree on using the same
precise English here.
I'm happy to re-learn, but I'd really like to end up with three
different simple English words, if possible.
(Yes, I know and have seen/heard "curly braces", "round
parentheses", ... but I'd hope we can do without the extra adjective.)
Thank you, well versed English (or "American") learned readers
of R-help, for wise guidance on this ...
Martin
