Day 82/100: The Exclamation Comma. This now-extinct glyph was created and patented in Canada by three American inventors in 1992, and true to its name, it was designed to both look and act like the lovechild of the incredibly utilitarian comma and the equally hated and adored exclamation point. Inventors Leonard Storch, Haagen Ernst Van and Sigmund Silber wrote in their patent application that the exclamation comma was for use 'within a written sentence between words as a comma, but with more feeling'. Likewise, the comma is for expressing a question before a sentence has ended. To draw it, you put the long vertical line of an exclamation point over the familiar curve of a comma. Like an exclamation point, it was used to denote excitement, add flourish, and generally lend a statement a certain degree of emotion and emphasis. Unfortunately, the exclamation comma isn’t standard in font sets and can’t easily be used in typing...c'est la vie!

Day 85/100: 'Noughts & Crosses' Time for another #punctuationpattern using motifs from previous days. It started off with a white background & black and red motifs (the addition sign, the exclamation mark, the r-coloured vowel) but I'm a sucker for #invertedcolours 😎 [Digital repeating pattern created in Adobe Photoshop] #100daysofthepunctuationproject #100days #the100dayproject #gm100dayproject #punctuation #punctuationdesign #punctuationproject #punctuationmarks #graphicdesign #creativehabit #dailyhabit #creativity #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepatternconcept #technicalrepeat #repeatingpattern #patternobserver #patternlover #graphicpattern #circles #noughtsandcrosses #plus #exclamationpoint #exclamationcomma
