Dear Madame L,
I know you already did your "Weird Word of the Week" for this week. But check out this word I just found explained on my friend Kathy Kidd's blog: Interrobang!

You mean you've never ended a sentence with a question mark and then an exclamation point, or an exclamation point followed by a question mark?!
Madame L is happy to hear that, because if SHE were your English teacher, she would have deducted points for such usage.
However, as your friend Kathy notes in her blog, there really is such a thing, which can also be called an interrabang, and here's what it looks like:

Hah. If Brother Gerald, my 7th Grade teacher saw that, he would slap me up the side of my head.

And what's this "deduct points"?!?? That's SISSY FLOGGING punishment!#!
