interrobang. This is the very newest of punctuation marks, devised by an American typecasting company in the 1970s. A combination question mark and exclamation point, it is used after an expression that could be both a question and exclama- tion, such as “Where’s the fire?!” Resembling an exclamation point superimposed on a question mark, it takes its name from the interro in interrogation and the printers’ slang bang for an exclamation point. |
