The History of @

  1. Rita,
    I found your facts fascinating. I wonder if we will see less of the exclamation point. At least less in fiction. Many hold to the the idea that the description determines the emotion so the exclamation point is not needed. New symbols are evolving now that texting is so common and tweeting is on the rise.

    Now we're not using our darling little inverted commas, but the uninteresting ' Sigh.
