? is superior to !
Questions are asked and answered—loudly!—in this punctuation altercation between Lara Rae and The Irrelevant Show's Peter Brown.
Is communication best served in the form of a question? Or, perhaps an exclamation!
Don't be fooled: this is a debate for our times. According to Peter Brown, the world needs more Canada, and our land's name is written all over this debate.
I am here to defend the question mark, the signifier of humility and doubt. And therefore, the most Canadian form of punctuation.- Peter Brown
Punctuation is identity, indeed. As a trans woman, Lara Rae questions Peter's beliefs because he questions the exclamation.
My whole life I questioned my gender... it was only when I put a period at the end of that hunched-over life and stretched my arms like an exclamation... that I was free. Why is Peter Brown against that? Ask him? Ask him!- Lara Rae
