Always, Sometimes, Never?

As they say in the personal ads, are the following always, sometimes, or never okay?

--Parentheses around part of a word, as in "There are many (re)sources for a female poet..."

--Poetic as a (singular) noun

--Problematic as a noun

That's all for now, next installment coming up soon...

    My vote:

    1)sometimes: yes to (re)vison but not sure about (re)sources?

    2)sometimes: when plural

    3)never

    1) Never.
    2) Never. (Only plural as noun)
    3) Never.

    Makes you want to write for us, doesn't it.

    I'm interested in the context of #1. What (re)sources? I'm female. I'm a poet. Is there something useful at the end of that sentence?
