- A reader asked for the difference between parenthesis and brackets. Usually parenthesis indicate a clarification or extra information such as my email (nrosdahl@cdapress.com). Brackets [such as these] usually are around a larger set of extra information and are often large around an entire paragraph. The media usually doesn’t use brackets because brackets can’t be sent over the network.
