When replying to a message, your new text should go AFTER the quote.
Putting it first is called top-posting, and it's a Microsoft-introduced
abomination that's not compatible with newsgroups.

What is the difference between max(one, two) and max((one, two)) ?
When you call max(one, two) you are passing two arguments to max(). The
second way you are calling it with one argument, and that argument is a
tuple.
It happens that max() is happy either way. But for most functions, such
as sum(), it makes a big difference. And even with max(), if you had
included other arguments, such as keyword argument key=, you would have
seen a difference.
