Well that’s two reasons to boycott Target.

Why do I have to do all the dirty work?!
I’m up for a position down that way and am wondering if it is worth the move.

Typographic poster for Stanley Kubrick’s science fiction masterpiece. The famous quote is not included in the final version of the film but appears in Arthur C. Clakre’s original book. The em dash that breaks the phrase represents the ever present monolith.
Progress.
I need a vacation. Badly. My sanity is already gone.

They were messing around with the iPhone for hours. Okay, maybe one hour.
“The interrobang is a combination of a question mark and an exclamation point. Many of us use this punctuation when we type ?!, but a real interrobang is a merger of these two symbols: ?
Punctuation expresses an attitude, an idea, and slant. Often we relegate punctuation to the background, deeming it a mere convention or formality. But with each colon, we make a point: one idea explains a previous one. Cause and effect. Sometimes we signal connections between ideas; punctuation can refine relationships between points. Although words can make an impact, punctuation, clauses, and syntax do a lot of work, too.
Punctuation has a history, and we can learn about our past by learning about the lives of punctuation marks. The interrobang is, I think, the only punctuation mark invented in the twentieth century.”
