There is a typo in "Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia," it should be "Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia" instead. (Also, it breaks the layout.)

I kind of like how it breaks the layout, since it's such a ridiculous word

Let the ironic screaming at the sight of this word commence!

also interrobang is rendered as bang-interro (!?) when it should be interro (?) then bang (!) -> (?!)

There isn't a "correct" way to incorrectly render the interrobang as 2 separate characters. The name was never supposed to suggest a certain ordering instead of just being both at the same time. The name "interrobang" just sounded better than "exclamaquest" (or any of the alternatives Type Talks readers submitted).

Huh, interesting. I retract my previous statement! I'd love to read about this if you have a source.

No, it should be rendered with the proper Unicode: U+203D ‽

do you really think so?!

I think bang-interro just didn't sound as nice and that's probably why it is called an interrobang.

I bet that "p" just bounced out of pure spite.
