Word of the Day - Part 3


Interrobang - a nonstandard punctuation mark used in various written languages that combines the functions of the question mark and the exclamation mark. 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.

The interrobang can be represented by putting in these 3 separate ways. 
1) ?!
2) !?
3) ‽ (this is my favorite!)

A popular use of the interrobang is as a stand-alone symbol in cartoons used to portray surprise.
