The Interrobang Deserves a Comeback
--
I’m a writer, and as such, I love the power of words. I also love the power of punctuation. There’s so much tone, mood, emotion, and subtext that comes from setting your pace, whether drawing attention to a moment by letting it rest or creating urgency with short sentences. Small changes can make subtle but significant differences.
Consider this phrase: “you call that a scarf”
With a question mark, it’s a question, albeit it a kind of strange one.
You call that a scarf?
