Thought of all of you who love chocolate when I saw this. See how you all are on my mind!?

BTW Did you know there use to be a punctuation that had the exclamation point and the question mark one on top of the other? Just for inquiring minds. Wink

lol! Good one Sue!

‽ You mean this one right? Known as an interrobang, I wish at times there was one on my keyboard. It'd save me a keystroke and then people might just wonder...what is she thinking first and foremost...of the question or the exclamation?!

My favorite T-shirts:


"I let my mind wander. It never came back."

"Normal People Scare Me."


My camo T reads: "Hah! Now You Can't See Me!"

I had never seen that one, Pam. In the book, Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, it said one was on top of the other. I was thinking placed above each other not on each other. Hmmmm... interesting. How did you make it?

Some grammar texts allow the dual punctuation of question mark and exclamation mark, but most grammarians prefer one or the other. For instance, it's permissible and proper to end a demanding question with an exclamation in lieu of a question mark: "What in Heaven's name were you thinking!"

Yep, Jim. In the book I stated above it says that the mark is now obsolete. That either one or the other is used and not both, unless it needs a very powerful emotion.
