Punctuation mutation — forming hybrid punctuation<br />

Punctuation?<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a rich world <strong>of</strong> symbols<br />

that can change our perception<br />

<strong>of</strong> the written language. Never<br />

pronounced, constantly evolving,<br />

these seemingly trivial hooks,<br />

dots and lines can clarify,<br />

structure or twist a text; they<br />

can also make us smile or ponder<br />

upon an intended meaning. But<br />

on our keyboards this diversity<br />

is reduced to the bare minimum.<br />

Let’s mix and merge these<br />

symbols and invent new ones!<br />

Devised as an experiment,<br />

http://punctu.at is an online<br />

tool to enable anyone to create,<br />

use and share personal and<br />

imaginative punctuation.<br />
