Meant to post this query a few months back but never got around to it. But, the interrobang thread reminded me. So, I was wondering, how did we arrive at the period, question mark, exclamation mark, etc.? I've researched the development of the letters and alphabet, but never the punctuation marks. Can anybody help? The TsuwmMeister, perhaps?
