About brackets
How should I add the space when I use brackets?
Is that A(B), or A( B), or A (B), or…?
Thank you!

That possibly depends on what A and B are. Words? Functions?
A(B), or A (B) are possible.

Like Gary says, use a space when you're separating the bracketed word from other words. "This (is) an example." And within the brackets don't use spaces. ie (is) - notice no spaces within.
Also, the word "brackets" is fine. I use it all the time, anyway :)
It's just a difference in usage between UK and NA English.
I interchange "brackets" and "parentheses" in programming scripts, but always use "brackets" when describing those symbols in sentences.

Oh I see. Thank you!

While you're technically correct, I would suggest using the term "parenthesis" for ( and ) instead of "brackets", which most people (programmers at least) think of as [ and ].
