tickled the shit out of him

he had taken a quote from Hofstadters Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by asshole evangelist Graham which began [In the place of the Bible] and he wondered why the parentheses were [  ]  and not (  )  squared versus rounded  and if there was a significant difference between them or simply stylistic of no matter
       Methinks he thought
he may have stumped Googles Gemini program

he queried what is the difference between [  ]  and  (  )

his reply if one wants to hazard that it is a reply was
                                                  “The difference depends on the context: "and" is a formal word, while "&" is its informal symbol, with "&" often used in business names but avoided in formal writing. "\"" (double quotes) and "'" (single quotes) differ in usage, with double quotes for direct quotes and single quotes for quotes within quotes (though usage can vary by English dialect). In coding, a backtick (` `) is a separate character from a single quote (') and is used for different purposes, such as string literals or comments, while a single quote is used for a single character in some languages.”

he noticed the double quotes and single quotes were contained by the parentheses (  and not [  ]
