Did you know today is National Punctuation Day? It's true—an entire day devote to celebrating all there is to love (and loathe) about our favorite forms of punctuation.
It all started with Jeff Rubin, a former copy editor who got the day listed on Chase's Calendar of Events in 2004. Each year, he and his wife cook a meatloaf shaped like a question mark as an ode to the day.
You can learn more—and even enter a National Punctuation Day Baking Contest—at the official website, nationalpunctuationday.com.
I'm wondering: What's your favorite form of punctuation and why?

The interrobang. Hands down. Though I guess it's kind of annoying and not very used in real publishing.
