¿Might you be a winner?

A couple of months ago, we alerted readers to the whimsical contest at Emdashes.com (the independent website that is fixated on all things New Yorker magazine -- as in the magazine) to find a name for the upside down question mark(¿) usually used at the beginning of questions in Spanish text .

The finalists are:
  • the qué mark
  • splainu
  • quiggle
  • interroverti
  • ¿nu?
  • pre-Q
  • Prask
  • askin
You can make your choice here. We understand that the grand prize is either dinner for two at the Spanish, Mexican, Ecuadorian, Dominican, &c., restaurant of your choice, or, if you prefer, a beautiful copy of Pablo Neruda's immortal The Book of Questions. We are pulling for a Canadian winner to be drawn.
