Interrobang

What?! You mean you've never heard of the interrobang?!

Well, the Roman Empire gave us the modern European, or Latin, alphabet, and medieval scribes gave us the punctuation we use, today. The comma, perioc, exclamation point and question mark represent how people speak, whether they're reciting texts or talking amongst friends. As we all know, a comma is a pause, and a period is the end of a statement or a complete thought. A question mark asks a question, and an exclamation point is something that someone shouts. Punctuation has mostly remained the same throughtout the centuries.

But, in 1962, Martin K. Speckter, the editor of TYPEtalks magazine, decided he'd seen enough combinations of question marks and exclamation points to last a lifetime. He put his foot down and invented a punctuation mark that conveyed incredulity more efficiently. He printed the symbol in TYPEtalks and being a magnanimous fellow, asked the magazine's readers what they thought it should be called.

The readers of TYPEtalks responded, and Speckter was graced with the perfect name that combined Enguistics with jargon. 'Interrobang'. "Interro-" came from the interrogatory nature of a question and "-bang" came from the printer's term for an exclamation point.

Throughtout the 1960s, the interrobang did manage to achieve a bit of fame. The mark found its way into print in newpapers ad various magazines. And stodgy dictionary editors even saw fit to add "interrobang" as a word amongst their listings. The symbol's fame was short-lived, thought. During the 1970s, the interrobang was mostly forgotten.

Nowadays, Martin K. Speckter's legacy mostly lives on in the names of several businesses, Web sites and even a rock band. It still has some old fans out there. What's promising is that some young folks have discovered it in recent years, and that's good news for the interrobang. Now, all it has to do is win over the stodgy keyboard manufacturers.
