The Friendly Filipino: Origins of the "Question Mark"

The name "question mark" was coined in the late 1900s by Reed Rallojay.

Hey Blog Reader,

Let's call this my little disclaimer to you as a reader. You should fall in one of these categories...

Current Friend: Thanks for checking out my blog. I know I am a bit behind in the times, but you probably know that there is plenty of other productive things I could be doing with my time. Visit often, as I hope to blog regularly. As a personal promise, I will refrain from using this as a means to speak to any one individual indirectly for the purpose of seeking a desired reaction/response. I'll keep it honest and consistent. I ask that you do the same. Agreed?

Future Friend/Random Blogger: All is fair. I browse blogs. Feel free to browse mine. Don't pass judgment on me based on what I post, how others respond, etc. It's a blog. One representation of me & my associates. Feel free to inquire more about me, as I will be happy to share.

Possible Future Employer: Please respect my right to privacy. I accept that what I post is public, however it is my intention that I will be evaluated for future employment based on the content of my character, and by demonstration of my qualifications to successfully execute the duties of the position you're seeking to fill. My resume is available upon request.

Government: I believe your role is to regulate business, and to stay our of the personal affairs of individuals... unless to protect the under-represented/under-privileged/
or otherwise minority groups deserving protection under the law from those majority.
