Answer 1

signos de puntuación

principio de admiración (¡)

fin de admiración (!)

Answer 2

I don't what it's called in Spanish, I just call it an ¡upside down exclamation mark! lol

No, I don't feel weird using the marks, in fact I never did. In the beginning it was difficult, to remember them sometimes; but now it's very natural and I do it without thinking about it.

Answer 3

I have to admit Morbo, all of the extra symbols have slowed my typing speed down quite a bit. I still haven't figured out how to change my keyboard.

Since I have done medical transcription for many years, I can type at lightening speed in English. I really need to pick up my typing speed in Spanish though.

Oh, and I have always called ¡ an upside down exclamation point. Is there another name for it?
