Continuing:

- what are her thoughts on the inverted exclamation point ¡ used in Spanish? How did that come to be?

- does her book go into how the exclamation point became called a “bang” in some contexts?

(I ask as someone who remembers the “bang-path” addressing format we had in the pre-Internet days of UUCP where your address for email was literally something like “ucb!xyz12!mycomp!dan” )
