Remember when we found out that a question mark plus an exclamation point is called an Interrobang? And remember how I initially misspelled it as "Interobang?" Well, apparently, a lot of people mis-spell Interrobang, cause our blog is on the first page of a Google search for the word:

This is bizarre that Alex is revisiting the interrobang, as I came across some new information about it just last night. I was about to post it, but decided against it. I've decided for it now.
Basically, an interrobang isn't a question mark next to an exclamation point, but a question mark superimposed on an exclamation point. Finishing a sentence with:
Grapes?!
Is just using multiple punctuation, not an interrobang. Unfortunately, my computer does not have an interrobang that I can post with to show the difference, but you probably get the idea.
In any event, the interrobang, multiple punctuation and especially supermultiple punctuation (Grapes?!?!?!) is considered very poor style.
Interrobummer.
This blog is a blog of lies.
