An email from my brother leaves me longing to add some new typographic symbols to my list of fonts for use on Fairfield Life. One is the 'interrobang,' described here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang The interrobang combines the elements of the question mark and the exclamation point, and could be used for such sentences as: "Maharishi issued a new proclamation and you actually believed it<insert interrobang here>" French is even more creative, typographically. Several wonderful characters are described briefly in the Histoire section of the following French Wikipedia page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_d%27ironie Their potential for usage here on FFL should be obvious: * le point de certitude -- for TBs * le point d'autorité -- ditto * le point de doute -- for TNBs * le point d'ironie -- for use with TMO proclamations implying that the organization actually cares about teaching TM * le point d'indignation -- for use when anyone here claims to have had an experience that everyone is theoretically seeking, such as enlightenment * le point d'amour -- I can't actually think of how this would be used on FFL, but it's interesting that someone invented it... :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
