New Punctuation Marks
Here are eight new punctuation marks for you to use and abuse. A couple of them are awesome. Sadly, they missed to 'bidirectional semicolon' :: (which I saw discussed in an awesome short play whose mechanism of delivering its premise was a seminar in which the speaker introduced many new punctuation marks that were heretofore missing), in which the left side explains the right side and vice versa. The example used in the play was "To be a Jew :: To be a Jew".
