World, meet the exclamation¹ comma -- the punctuation² mark you didn't know existed, but that you almost certainly need in your life.

大家来欢迎感叹逗号，你可能不知道有这样的标点符号存在，但生活中绝对会用得到。

The exclamation comma is, as its name suggests, a symbol that looks like an exclamation point, only with a comma instead of a period at its base. As the Grammarly blog noted³ this week, it's used just like an exclamation mark “to denote excitement, add flourish, and generally lend a statement a certain degree of emotion and emphasis,” but it's to be placed within sentences rather than at the end of them.

For example:

"That velociraptor is so scary [insert exclamation comma] but don't worry, he's not going to eat you."

The exclamation comma was reportedly created by American inventors Leonard Storch, Haagen Ernst Van and Sigmund Silber in 1992, who also lobbied for its widespread adoption⁴. However, their patent for the symbol lapsed⁵ in 1995, and their effort to popularize it ultimately failed.
