The Exclamation Comma. “Just because you’re excited about something doesn’t mean you have to end the sentence.”

14 Punctuation Marks You Never Knew Existed

(via loveyourchaos)

If you were to transcribe everything I said in a day, I’m sure you’d have quite a bit of the Exclamation Comma in there. And the Interrobang. ‽‽‽ @fivefifteen - Don’t show these to your students.

The amount of joy I got out of these new punctuation mark has nearly reduced me to tears. The exclamation comma would turn my crappy poetry into remarkably! crappy poetry. 

Interesting sidenote. Do your students/did you ever see your former students do this? They’ll do the ^ mark, but they would make it upside down like a v and then write underneath the line rather than over it. They were not at all having it when I tried to tell them to do it like ^. I was watching eatyourkimchi today and they brought up the possibility of being trolled by students. I felt trolled by this. I also felt trolled by “Her-me-own” but you have to figure that’s Korea trolling the whole world in that case.
