Lynne Truss Quote

Did anyone hear the interrobang? Oh yes. Woman next door wastemporarily deafened by it. What’s this? Ah. You don’t see many of these anymore. It’s an emoticon. Hold your head this way and it appears to be winking. Good God! You mean – ? That’s the mouth. You mean – ? That’s the nose. Good grief Then it’s – ? Oh yes, sir. There’s no doubt about it, sir. The Punctuation Murderer has struck again.
