somewhere just recently I was reading about how the punctuation symbols
came about; the ampersand, for instance being an
abbreviation/modification of the Latin for 'and', the question mark a
modified Latin 'q', (them Latins keep showing up all over the place; you

Fletcher-Christianesque refusal to even type that sentence.
