One of the wonderful thing about the Internet is the way that random blogging leads you first to the insane and then to the utterly sublime.

Take today, I discovered the “Interrobang” through Digg. Which might be one of the most awful ideas I’ve ever seen.

 But then, through the wonders of Wiki, I discover that there’s a whole world of alternative punctuation out there. And then I discover the “Irony Mark” which, in this email age, might have saved me causing offence to dozens, perhaps thousands of people. Why isn’t this in every font?

And I don’t want anyone suggesting it’s because the Americans would never work out how to use it, understand?
