In the UK and Australia, "brackets" on its own refers to round brackets 
(parentheses), as they are the most common form. We never use "brackets" 
on its own to mean [], but only (), and the only time we bother to say 
"round brackets" is when there is a need to disambiguate them from 
square ones.
