by Charles W. Sanders

The Quotation includes a passage that is taken from some other author or speaker; as, John said: "See my kite."

( )

The Parenthesis includes words not properly a part of the main sentence; as, I like these people (who would not?) very much. The words within the parenthesis should be read in a lower tone of voice.

The Brackets inclose words that serve to explain the preceding word or sentence; as, James [the truthful boy] went home.

^

The Caret shows where words are to be put in that have been omitted by mistake; as, Live _^ⁱⁿ peace.

¨

The Diæresis is placed over the latter of two vowels, to show that they belong to two distinct syllables; as, aërial.
