bracketeering

The should-be-illegal overuse of brackets in the written word, used by those who feel they cannot adequately convey meaning with standard punctuation.

Hey, whassup? (When i say 'whassup' i mean 'how's it going' rather than 'what's off the floor'). I'm doing good (well, not too bad) and looking forward (actually pretty keen...) to meeting you guys (and girls) soon (ish).

.....some serious bracketeering going on there.
