“Huh?”

~ ? on ?

“What the heck is going on?”

~ Captain Oblivious on ?

Or so they say.

For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about ?.

[edit] What's the origin?

Yes, the origin. The question mark began, not when people first started asking questions (a common misconception), but when people started writing questions. It likely began with a greek philosopher, who asked questions to themselves, which is a bit crazy.

Dr. Evil said his dad made outrageous claims about inventing the question mark.

[edit] How do I use it?

Why, you just did! Just slap it on to the end of a sentence that sounds like a confused and yearning plea for knowledge. Accompany this by a raise in the voice. Use it rhetorically to make people feel stupid ("Can you ask me a question? I'll have to think about it, asshole). It may also be used for right wing propaganda ("Aren't you an American???").

[edit] What if there are more than one?

Each additional ? up to three indicates rising levels of anger/excitement. Anything beyond that looks stupid or indicates insanity.

Examples:

1. What time is it? Peaceful, normal tone.
2. You're pregnant?? Surprise.
3. You're also gay??? Shock, confusion, outrage.
4. You also have AIDS????? Stupid, insane. (WARNING: DO NOT USE!!!)

[edit] ¿Como puedo usar el opuesto?

The following is written in Spanish about ¿; to understand, you must be saved by Mexican Jesus.

Alguien usa el opuesto para indicar que es una pregunta antes de hablar. Ninguna otra lengua usa este signo, es solamente usado en español.

[edit] Valley Girls and Other Symbol Abusers

Linguists have violent arguments? about Valley Girls using it at the end of every sentence? and even at random points in between?

Other punctuation criminals include the band members of Panic! at the Disco, who instead abuse the exclamation point, the robin to ?'s Batman.

Prince first considered changing his name to ?, but was talked out of it by Michael Jackson.

I just Abused it.
