Is that better? I have accounted for the fact the original parentheses is a closure for a preexisting opening not visible in this post. Hopefully this now cancels out and has no extra openings?

This ask has 143 sets of parentheses, 12 extra opening parentheses, 2 extra closing parentheses, 143 sets of brackets, 2 extra opening brackets, 44 sets of curly brackets, and 6 extra opening curly brackets.
