So it's a rule of thumb that whereever they use [word] it means that the quoted person actually said something else than [word], but for our convenience the quoter exchanged the original word into another word that lets the meaning of the sentence out easier? But i still dont know how the ( ) are being used in citation. :/ |
Yes, that is correct. Parenthesis ( ) are used for additional commentary on the quote. It represents something not said, but added for clarity of the message.
