Interrobang = ! + ?'s Interests

| General | Incredulity? and excitement! all at the same time. | | Books | "The Exclamation Mark", a short story by Anton Chekhov; e e cummings' poetry; "Eats Shoots, and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation" by Lynn Truss (even though the author refers to our Interrobang as being "daft", but in her defense she is British, and so we don't expect her to understand just how highly we value efficiency here); Strunk & White's "Elements of Style", though no mention of our Interrobang--the most stylish element of grammar there is! | | Heroes | Martin K. Speckter |

About me:
Hello and welcome to the official myspace page of The Punctuation Liberation Front's Interrobang Project.
One places an Interrobang at the end of a sentence to express excited incredulity. Of course "?!?!?" works just fine, but the Interrobang is a more eloquent way of denoting such. Besides, "?!?!?" is visually distracting, and makes whatever you are writing less likely to be taken seriously.
Example:
Did you really eat the whole thing?
According to Wikipedia the Interrobang was invented by an advertising executive named Martin K. Speckter in 1962. Needless to say, it hasn't gripped the Roman punctuation system quite as quickly or as wide-sweepingly as Mr. Speckter had hoped.
However, the interrobang has a friend within the Punctuation Liberation Front. We feel that if enough people rally behind the interrobang, all of the Roman alphabet-using population will soon be able to express incredulity and excitement with ease and efficiency!
How do I begin? you may ask.

You may have noticed that we have two presidential candidates as friends. This just goes to show that efficient and effective punctuation is bi-partisan! With such good sense when it comes to expressing two emotions at once, there is little doubt that either of these two fine candidates would be excellent choices for president!

We don't know how he did it, but interrobang supporter Kraig discovered how to get an interrobang on myspace! The only way we've been able to get it on here is by copy and pasting "?".
This is incredible! Thanks, Kraig!
We've been to countless html code sites looking for ways to get an interrobang on here but with no luck.
So get to it, folks! No excuses now!
? ? ? copy and paste these every where you need to express excited indredulity!
What are you waiting for?
