Reply to comment by dshmitty in "BLOOD SPORT: The Bondi Gay Murders" (2009) - the tale of the Bondi Beach murders. Lasting for over 10 years, with 30 to 90 victims, the organized hunt for gay men remains one of Australia's darkest secrets. Most of the identified culprits, including a major sports star, remain untouched. [00:54:19] by BurtGummer1911

Needs commas instead of parenthesis.

They technically work here but the information seems integral. They're overused in a lot of writing. They are most effective when adding information that isn't easily included by is necessary to understand the sentence. I'm not the only one to say this and there are a couple examples floating around.

When you say brackets are you referring to parentheses, these ( )? This is so confusing. In the US, these are brackets [ ] and these are parentheses ( ). But apparently in other places brackets by itself means parentheses unless specified, “square brackets” for example. I never knew that
