The snark (or my new favorite punctuation)
Did you know there is a punctuation that represents verbal irony? It looks like a tilde (~) over a period and it’s called the snark. I want to find a font that includes this keycap because I would use it more than any other person, I am sure. There’s even a website devoted to it: thesnark.org
(Thanks to ElectricLit for tweeting about this earth-changing bit of typography last night.)
Thanks so much, Nick, for introducing me to this important punctuation mark. I was not hitherto aware of its existence. It could come in very handy in my communications.
