This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.
e.g.
Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?
Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?
Get the idea?

I dunno, that doesn't seem too bad... maybe go with something like She turned away before he could see her blushing, blablabla.

Parentheses are used for parabombing. Square brackets are used for indicating text in quotes that has been altered, deleted, and/or inserted. Curly brackets... not sure. They might be archaic.

EDIT: Here's what Wikipedia says on the subject:
Presumably due to the similarity of the words brace and bracket (although they do not share an etymology), many people mistakenly treat brace as a synonym for bracket. Therefore, when it is necessary to avoid any possibility of confusion, such as in computer programming, it may be best to use the term curly bracket rather than brace. However, general usage in North American English favours the latter form.[citation needed] Indian programmers often use the name "flower bracket".[12]
Braces are often used in internet communities and through instant messaging to indicate hugging.[13]
In Classical Mechanics curly brackets are often also used to denote the Poisson bracket between two quantities.
