"Laughter and joke-telling is healthy and can be used to convey messages that may otherwise be too difficult to express!" - Jesse Eisenberg, A Marriage Counselor Tries To Heckle At A Knicks Game
The INTERROBANG, a largely forgotten wonder of the 60's. The poor little thing was almost named the exclamaquest.
"The INTERROBANG can convey in print an attitude, curiosity, and wonder."
"A sentence ending with an INTERROBANG asks a question in an excited manner, expresses excitement or disbelief in the form of a question, or asks a rhetorical question."
"Many writers, especially in informal writing, have used multiple punctuation marks to end a sentence expressing surprise and question."
"Like multiple exclamation marks and multiple question marks, such strings count as poor style in formal writing."!!!
A raging Bruxist, I grew up on an ostrich farm until I was mistaken for a woman one time too many. Leaving my angsty post-teen life as one of three only children, I flew to Stockholm where I unexpectedly won the Man Booker Prize for lengthy blogging about being short. I'm perplexed to report that I like painting tiny Romans.
