What the hell?!
“The INTERROBANG was created to fill a gap in our punctuation system where writers often used typographically cumbersome and unattractive combinations of the question mark and exclamation mark to punctuate rhetorical statements where neither the question nor an exclamation alone exactly served the writer. You can find an interrobang in Microsoft Word's Fonts. Go to Format, choose Fonts, then Wingdings 2. You'll find 4 different versions of the interrobang. Hit the ~ key, the ] key, the ^ key, or the _ key.”

teacher I have a slight fascination with punctuation marks. I know when to use a semicolon; I can deploy commas with confidence; and I understand the difference between a bracket and a brace. I first heard about this nonstandard punctuation mark viaChris Pirillowhen he mentioned it on a Twitter post. Wikipedia has a fairly detailed article about this curious little mark.

that is really sweet. they need to have it more for chat mediums, though, in my opinion. i find myself writing “?!?!?!?” much more often during an IM conversation than i do, say, when i'm typing up something for my boss. *shrug* thanks for sharing!
