Conclusion: The Underestimated Interrobang

My dear, dear readers, it seems we have come to the end of this glorious assignment. And I have chosen at this time to showcase my absolute favorite punctuation mark: The interrobang.

Born from 1960's typewriters, this simple mark (shown above) meant to bring together the querying aspect of the question mark and the outrage/excitement of the exclamation point. It is perfect for sentences such as "The dog did what‽" or "What do you think you're doing in that air duct‽ Get out of there immediately!" It allows for outraged questions without the awkward "?!" or "!?" used so often today in venues from informal essays to best-selling novels (although, with marks like that, it's no wonder that they aren't best-selling for long).

So at this point, I'll move to the topic sentence of this entry. 

"You mean, it's over‽"  (Bolded interrobang: not a good look.)

Yes, boys and girls. Unfortunately, time marches on, and waits for no electronic writing project. Such is life. Even so, I have thoroughly enjoyed this endeavor in a way that I never expected to. Quite honestly, until the moment that I was staring at the entry page to begin this blog, I thought that it was going to end horribly. All I can say is, I was very happily mistaken. I love it when I'm wrong.

Thanks to all of my wonderful commentors throughout this experiment. You are all true friends. I wish that I could have akgnowledged all of you for your support, but I hope you know that each and every one of you gave me the extra boost I needed to actually continue writing.

Now, I would love to say for sure that I was going to continue this. As great as that would be (My very own blog, all mine! Squeee!), I know myself too well to believe that I'll be able to keep up with this on a regular basis. I may make a few more entries, but I can almost promise that they will be few and far between. 

So, until further notice, I bid thee adieu. 

(Sidenote: Save the interrobang!)
