High time for this!

Quotations marks were "invented" in 1671, and it wasn't until 1962 that another new punctuation mark was invented. It's the Interrobang, a combination of a question mark (you see it?) and an exclamation point (I do!)

An advertising man named Martin K. Speckter conceptualized the interrobang as a way to spark up advertising copy that at once asked a question and made a big point. For example: you cannot name a married man who has not heard this: "Is that really what you plan to wear to the wedding‽" 

And far too many drivers have heard this from a police officer: "Do you know you were driving 40 miles an hour over the limit‽"

The interrobang gets its name from "interrogate," as in asking questions, and "bang," which is what editors and typographers called the exclamation point back in the days when there were editors and typographers.

Remington Rand added the interrobang to the fonts on their electric typewriters years ago, and those of us who are fans are still waiting for public acceptance. It would be a useful tool for people who find themselves asking their boss, "Do you think that's really a decent raise‽" 

The typewriter people wanted us to be able to "express the incredibility of modern life."  

If only they knew.
