In addition to the suggestions about, you may also wish to note that the "(" and ")" in your question are "parentheses" rather than "brackets" (which come in several flavors, including square, [ and ], curly, { and } and < and >). It's UNimportant in this case, but would be very significant in most code.

Likewise, what you call "speech marks" are (if I understand you correctly) "quotation marks" or, loosely and idiomatically, "double quotes" (to distinguish from single quotes, " ' "

and I second the above: get an account. You'll find the monastery a welcoming and helpful place.
