Surely there's a modern way to use some of these punctuation ideas. We can use emoticons to indicate irony, sarcasm, and silliness, but what about the interrobang for rhetorical questions intended to indicate disbelief or excitement? I suppose the faux html or hashtag works for that, eh?
... With sarcasm, sometimes you really have to let the reader know ahead of time that you are being facetious, just so they can get it. So I think a punctuation mark at the beginning may be necessary, like a ~ or a ^ ...
How do you pronounce the interrobang symbol? I need to know for when I do some sarcasm using my mouth.
