A quick look on this site (especially with what the teenage population write) show that the exclamation and question mark, used together in an obnoxious manner abusive to punctuation, is quite popular. Countless times I've seen the eyesore "?!?!!!!!?".
The revision of the interrobang would, indeed, save not only punctuation abuse, but their own time when it comes to typing. (And, given that most words longer than four letters are made into abbreviations, I have no doubt they're all for "time savers".)
So why did the poor dear never catch on? Did writers simply not use it enough because their writing lacked the needed rhetoric?
The interrobang, however, is not to be grouped in with the idiotic-looking "point d’ironie" for rhetoric speech is quite different from irony. Whereas the interrobang is fun, jazzy, and cute, the point d'ironie marks are just plain silly.

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, maybe you should Google it first and not try so desperately to get some useless two points.

I'm from the Society to Save the Interrobang, please give what you can to rarely used and forgotten punctuation. It's the only kind thing to do, since YOU are the ones who are slowly killing them. They live in an unused punctuation colony in the Gulf of Mexico on an island ravaged Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the local Cajun population do what they can to help, but it is not nearly enough. Please give, and in the absence of poor interrobang!?!

Grow up little girl, you need some life experience, before you make snide remarks to your elders. Come back when you grow up girl, you're still living in a make believe world.
