Which one has the most potential?
>lets make nuance obvious
>>24539719Why should nuance exist? Honest question.
>>24539747when used effectively ambiguity harmonises alongside the literal, but this is difficult to do, so it inevitably devolves into violet babble a lot of the time.
The only acceptable answer is "doubt point". "Acclamation point" can be replaced with "!!" and "interrobang" with "?!" so there's no use. "Authority mark", "certitude point", "friendly period", "irony mark", "love point", "percontation point", "sarcmark" and "snark mark" can and should be replaced with the appropriate wording. Neither "exclamation comma" nor "question comma" actually need a new character—mid-sentence "!" and "?" are commonplace in literature—and I'm not sure what "elrey" is supposed to mean. "Hedera" is needless because there's spacing now between paragraphs and asterisms is still something I often see in print, especially in learned literature. Punctuation is to print suprasegmental features, it's used to indicate stress and intonation, so doubt/confusion is the best candidate.
The irony mark should be used more just to see how many layers deep we can get
>>24539832؟this except unironically
>>24539804One of those is literally called the snark mark, and you're sincerely replying to it.~
>Sarcmark
Trademarking a punctuation mark is the
gayest and most retarded fucking thing I've every heard. I don't know who those people were, but fuck them and their whole family for being a bunch of conceited shitheads.
>>24539239 (OP)Therere already too many little marks on readers pages
>>24539915Yeah, we should just erase all of them
>>24539239 (OP)Apart from the asterism and hedera (aka fleuron), all of these are just quirky autistic reddit variations on the question and exclamation mark. That also goes for the interrobang, the best known of them. While the ‘commas’ might be justified, it seems to stem from a too rigid conception of the question and exclamation mark (or rather their dot) as exclusively terminal punctuation – the mid-sentence ? or ! used to be not uncommon in print, as
>>24539804 points out.
>>24539239 (OP)All the ones made 1960s and on are obviously just fags making things for the sake of it inflating their ego thinking they are clever for creating punctuation.
>>24539239 (OP)Literature should not be made more accessible to the people who cannot read tone.
>>24539239 (OP)Most if not all of these are pretty terrible. I will admit that I love or ~ at the end of sentences in manga/light novels to express playfulness. Same with to express romantic or lustful feelings. Pic related (sorry that I couldn't find something less coomy~)
>>24539984Yeah I noticed that I got the more annoyed with those.
>>24540082Ah shit the symbols didn't appear. It should be
>I love [star] or ~and
>Same with [heart] to
>>24539239 (OP)Interrobang. ?!?!? Is relatively common and has the same meaning.
>>24539239 (OP)I'd love to see question comma become more common in usage. There's plenty of times I've wished to add elucidation to a simple question, but adding a question mark after the add-on felt unwieldy and inelegant.
