The interrobang is just a ligature for !?, the love point is just a ligature for &lt;3, the sarc mark is just a ligature for &#x2F;s.<p>Friendly period is a waste, just don’t type a period, same effect<p>The goals of the question comma and exclamation comma can be achieved with existing constructions - how so? Like this! - that are just as parsimonious.<p>Irony, rhetorical question, and snark mark are <i>actively</i> bad: all three symbols destroy the ambiguity that is necessary for the device to function.<p>The Authority mark already exists[1].<p>Elrey and Acclamation seem to be fairly niche variations on the purpose of the standard exclamation mark - maybe a combining diacritic mark is the solution!̇ Typists of languages other than English are already there, just waiting to welcome you!̫̑<p>That leaves Certitude and Doubt. <i>Certainly</i> their case is the strongest, as they replace entire words. <i>Perhaps</i> using entire words is a good thing, though; the spectrum of certitude might be richer than the all-or-nothing binary choice offered by two characters…<p>1: The current form has the distinct advantage of actually providing some information about the authority being claimed.

This is nonsense and it looks like they gave themself some sort of award. &quot;Should&quot; be using and &quot;drastically improve our communication&quot; are bold claims, this seems like someone just wants to see if they can get people to start using something they made up.<p>People already have emojis in the first place, this is very obnoxious.

Has the language police found a new target? Punctuation marks. Who says that we &quot;should&quot; use those?

People often use punctuation in very creative ways... this makes for better communication. Some writers use the semicolon to add an alternative explanation or to reinforce what they have written. Others don&#x27;t use it at all: there are too many signs.

&lt;&lt;I often think there should exist a special typographical sign for a smile—some sort of concave mark, a supine round bracket, which I would now like to trace in reply to your question.&gt;&gt; V. Nabokov

If you&#x27;re not an &quot;emojis are forbidden in all written language&quot; prude, then none of these are necessary.

The friendly period looks like an upside down version of my family cattle brand - and I do sometimes use it on handwritten items.

Wait, should I be using a friendly period or no period? Fuck it, I&#x27;ll use a full stop.

Hated the love point. It looked like someone pooped.

I am for less syntax more liberally applied.<p>Think lisp vs apl.
