Dear Interrobang

Dear Interrobang,

I realize that, after the "Dear Alphabet" series, many other parts of literature felt a little left out. Well, I am only going to dig myself into a deeper grave by means of this letter.  This is not the first in a series addressed to punctuation (or... is it?), but it is nonetheless important.
I love to learn new things, Interrobang, and your existence is one of the most interesting things I have learned in a while. I was watching a man I admire chat about literary things on YouTube and he was asked the question: "What is your favourite punctuation?" His answer... was you, Interrobang. Where have you been all my life‽ I constantly find myself using the old question mark, exclamation mark series at the end of a sentence because I want to make sure my inquiry and force are both understood. Now that I know you exist, I plan on using you whenever possible.
I'm glad to have met you, new friend.
I waited
how long to meet you‽

See you soon and often,
Peat
