I never understood why some sentences have brackets, when you regularly read the sentence as if there is nothing there.For example: Lenny and Carl are very good friends, and [whether they're gay] depends on the show part of the joke is you think they are, and then they talk about their girlfriends.Does that mean someone reworded the sentence from the original source to fit the context more easily or something?
Brackets are used to fill in information that makes it easier for the reader to understand. Like in interviews, they can't put every single thing in so they use brackets to put in phrases or words so the reader can understand what is bring talked about.
