Today is National Punctuation Day! So let’s talk about the interrobang. “What the heck is that‽” you ask/exclaim?

In 1962, advertising agency director Martin K. Speckter had seen one too many sentences ending with ?!. So he suggested that we generate a new punctuation character called “interrobang.” He wrote up his recommendation for the publication TYPEtalks.
