[BITList] Did you know??????

[John Feltham]

G'day Folks,

A bit of fun for a Sunday morning, with a little help from a correspondent!

Having just received this little pearler [see below in the yellow box], I was amazed at the ones that I didn’t know.

I’d like to share the one at the end of this sentence, I’m sure that you would like me to‽

Did you know the names for these - often seen in documents these days?

And what, is an “interrobang”?

While this morning I suffered from a bout of dycania!
