In 2004, Neenah Paper commissioned 24 top design firms in New York to design a poster in celebration of punctuation. C&G Partners celebrates the question mark, and they describe the concept eloquently. "The lonely little question mark, hiding in its labyrinth, surrounded by the maze of which it is comprised, seems to prove the old saying: at the heart of every question, there is always another question."
When I Wiki'd "question mark" an interesting synonym popped up: eroteme. Does anyone know the origin or mainstream use of the word eroteme?
The question mark is my favorite punctuation. It invites discussion, begs an answer, directs interrogation, challenges validity, or sparks another question.
What's your favorite punctuation?

Hi Janet,
This is a provocative piece of art. I love labyrinths, and it was a creative idea. I think my favorite punctuation mark is the ellipisis. Those three little dots can contain the world. Who knows...
