Well, it is even ambiguous with brackets. Cause if you don't fallow the
standard rules, you could give the brackets a totally different meaning.
That's what makes all communication that faulty - we assume, that we follow
the same rules, but most of the time we don't. As a wise man said ones - it
is more of an wonder that communication does happens most of the time in a
correct way than the opposite.
