Interrobang is the posited name for the !?, but I don't think it has an ASCII yet.

I get particularly excited by diacritics and, in my personal writings, tend to enjoy Diaereses of the 'coördinate' sort.

The vagaries of propriety tend towards obstinancy and obscuranticism in effect, while appealing towards hyper-correctitude and simplicity; precisely the sort of paradox that appeals to me. Perfection terminally in absentum; "human, all too human" indeed.

I get annoyed with my interminable parentheses - of the properly grammatical sort - which serve only to obviate the intrangible, in-negotiable vacillations of the self, presented in writing.

I absolutely loathe ellipses, I really can't explain how they irritate me so.

Today I've been reading about rhetorical devices - I discovered the 5 sorts of hyperbaton and the exciting revelation that an argument I've been having for about 2 years with a good friend could easily have been resolved if either of us realised that a linguistic trope and a philosophical trope were different categories of the same word (homonymy).
