As an editor, it is my duty to be intimately acquainted with the uses and abuses of the marks that serve to augment and clarify meaning in writing. And, emulating Shakespeare, once you know the rules, it is everlastingly fun to break them. Or expand their uses. Or come up with new ones.
I highly recommend this article, entitled "13 little-known punctuation marks we should be using." Why not? (Well, keyboard-wise it's a little tricky, they're not widely known, etc., etc. But they're still fun. And possibly even useful.)
Additionally, I also recommend a fabulous, classic sketch by Victor Borge called "Phonetic Punctuation." My dad used to give public readings and perform this at talent shows. I loved hearing it. I now question the punctuation of the text Borge used, but I love it all the same.
