Except that a rose is not the same as a marigold. That's why they have different names.

Google caret and google brackets. The four types of brackets are well known in English writing as punctuation. A caret is more a mathematical and programming mark, and is used with some foreign languages, and, if below the line of type, as a proofreading mark. Now, some have called the angle brackets "chevrons," but chevrons are usually used horizontally, whether upside down or not, so they're not chevrons or sideways chevrons, either.

Hey, not trying to be picky here, just correcting an otherwise spot-on posting.

And, "a rose by any other name.....smells pretty bad in court."
