The pondercation point is a punctuation mark that fills a critical need in written communication. In spoken word, inflection and tone are used to indicate inquisitive statements. In the written word, however, there is no official punctuation mark to delineate a statement intended as a question (e.g. "I wonder if beverages will be provided.")
With an increasing amount of communication being conducted in written word (e-mail, chat rooms, instant messaging) the need for greater clarity in punctuation drove research grammarians at the "Toughest Guys in the World" think tank in Provo, Utah, to develop a new punctuation symbol using existing punctuation available on a typical Western keyboard.
The pondercation point is represented by the combination of the ~ (tilde) and the ` (apostrophe), and is used at the end of inquisitive statements that require an answer from the recipient. Therefore instead of saying, "I wonder if you are lying to me, asshole?" intent is better indicated with the pondercation point: "I wonder if you are lying to me, asshole~`"

Get the ponderize mug.Ponderuponit was a very wise man living from 1857-1941 during which time he studied every field of knowledge known to man. Unfortunately, however, his wisdom that he passed on from this knowledge is mostly useless to everyday people. Had it not been for this set-back, Sir Ponderuponit would now be compared to the likes of Ghandi, Albert Einstein, and Obi-wan Kenobi.
