You have as much right as anyone to modify our alphabet/punctuation.

And next we'll straighten out this calendar mess.

That's my planned presidential campaign platform.

I, for one, would like to see more frequent use of the interobang.

Lamplighter · 01-23-2012, 08:36 PM

I did not known about that before !?

no, no, no.

What punctuation mark do you use when the question and the exclamation carry equal weight‽

See ... simple.

Agreed... and Wikipedia says !? is OK too

Pete Zicato · 01-25-2012, 06:40 PM

Hey, there's a unicode code point for it, so it must be legit.

ZenGum · 01-23-2012, 10:16 PM

The interobang ... if that isn't a porno, it soon will be.

And that is another I'm not going to look up from work.

Yes, as far as i know, I just invented it. I had to use paint.net to make it, as i didn't find it anywhere....

it's for use just as you used it there.... except you should use another one at the end of that sentence.

glatt · 01-24-2012, 08:16 AM

Or maybe just a regular question mark at the end. The voice does rise a little at the end of the second half, so it does need something other than a period.

Pete Zicato · 01-24-2012, 08:32 AM

What? English isn't hard enough already, Jim?

jimhelm · 01-24-2012, 09:33 AM

say: What is that? Velvet?

that's _________^ where this thing should go. I need a name for it. nothing jumps out at me.
