I Hadn`t Heard About This Puntuaction Mark Before So, I`ve Never Used It Anywhere. I`m Not Sure Of How Cool They Are But I Think That They Are Very Clear And Useful When You Are Wrtitting A Text Message On Social Media, However, It`s Way Too Informal To Be Used In A Serious Composition, Like ENEM Composition.
