(Dear Brackets,

Thank you for assisting with the construction of my paragraphs.  You are my (absolute) favourite (in the punctuation world that is.)  You allow me to go off on tangents (both mini and lengthy) (and who doesn't love a good old fashioned stream of consciousness kind of tangent wedged nicely between two wholesome pieces of well ordered sentancage?)  (I know I just made up the word sentancage (pronounced sentansij) which goes against the rules, but I felt it rounded the point off ever so nicely, didn't you?)  Anyway, another reason I love you so, Mr Brackets, is that you help to curb my comma addiction, which has, recently, given me great cause for concern.  I'm endeavouring to quit (commas not brackets) but am finding it rather challenging, you realise.  (The fact that comma-ing has now been banned from some bars (they have designated outside comma-ing areas) may assist with cutting down, but it also makes us comma addicts feel a little isolated.) (I'm going to take us back to brackets now.)

So, thank you to your lovely (exclusive) curvy self and for all you do (I just wouldn't be without you.))

(Ooh, I just double bracketed) (That felt sooooo good.) 

Love from Jo (jojobee)

    Don't forget the wonderful semi colon; it is oh so classy

  2. Am loving your bracketing skills (I never knew about them before). Good luck with your comma addiction (hope the withdrawal symptoms aren't too bad). xxxxx
