Courtesy of Nancy, the following:
"I was listening to a CBC program about language and words on Saturday (it's called "And Sometimes Y"; it comes on at 11:30 a.m. on CBC 1) and they were talking about a punctuation mark I had never heard of before .... it's a symbol called the "interrobang" and it combines a question mark (or interrogation mark as they called it) and an exclamation mark (apparently the slang name for it among typesetters is the bang)."

And now I need to know what an asterism is.
Go forth and astound your friends with this one! Though if you can work "interrobang" into a sentence, I applaud you!

I'm hoping this is Christina's Blog. First and foremost, my apologies if this is inappropriate to contact you via BLOG. I have never done this before. My name is Debbie, and I'm a Researcher in Calgary with Mastel Associates Ltd. I'm emailing you today as I'm actively networking on behalf of my client – a company in the organic waste management and remediation sector - regarding an exciting opportunity in Calgary, for a Communications Specialist. I am working exclusively with this client, and thought I would send you a comment on your Blog as I have no other contact information for you.
Of course I have no expectation that something like this would be for you, but again I'm simply networking. Because of your industry and functional background I thought that perhaps you may know of someone within your network of contacts who might consider something like this. My client is committed to relocating the right individual into the area, and offers many interesting paths for career growth. Please feel free to forward this along to anyone you may know - I'm also of course always available to answer any questions.
Thanks so much in advance, and I look forward to hearing back from you, as I'd certainly like to touch base either way.
Regards - Debbie
