Revive the Iconic Interrobang for Expressive Punctuation! Add it to all keyboards!
The Issue
As a passionate advocate for expressive communication, I find myself in dire need of the interrobang. This unique punctuation mark is not only functional and convenient but also inspires a dash of whimsy in every sentence!
The Interrobang ‽, a non-standard punctuation mark, was invented in the 1960s by Martin K. Speckter. This mark combines the exclamation (!) and question (?) marks, formulating a potent symbol that's capable of expressing excitement, confusion, and disbelief all at once in a concise and stylish manner (reference: Oxford Languages).
Though it fell out of general use and is missing in much modern punctuation, I and many others strongly believe in the necessity of the interrobang. With the expansion of digital communication and the constant evolution of language, it is now more important than ever to encompass the full range of human emotion in our punctuation. It's time to resurrect the interrobang and bring back a bit of fun in our daily exchanges.
By signing this petition, we are not only advocating for increased expressiveness in our written communications but also honoring the whimsicality and invention inherent in our language. Let's band together to champion the delightful, the expressive, the supremely useful: the interrobang! Show your support to bring it back, because, hell, we need the mighty interrobang?!
