OK, I did some thinking on this and dragged my husband into it,
and we may have come up with something that helps to understand
the shape of a brace. A brace, by the way, to make it even more
confusing, is sometimes called a curly brace and even sometimes
called a curly bracket. Let me know if this description helps! smile.
Have two people stand in front of you, back to back, so that the
person on the left is facing towards your left, and the person to
your right is facing towards the right. That means that the
person on the left has their left hand towards you, and the person
on the right has their right hand towards you.
My husband volunteered for this, by the way, and he said to
describe him as bald as an egg, but with about 40 more pounds on
him (he's a thin wiry dude) so that his chin down to his neck is
nicely rounded. So: Clone him, and have him and his clone
standing as described above.
