ASCII hack failure of language. Even in mathematics, ! has multiple meanings like with Boolean NOT. We need a science, math, and language reformation to remove non intuitive narcissistic names, and implied contextual meanings.
I’ve never seen ! used for boolean NOT in maths, just ¬. I think ! is something programming languages went for because it’s easier to type. That said, screw (a, b). Is that a (coordinate) pair, an interval, an inner product, some secret fourth thing? Who knows!

Inner products are written as ⟨a,b⟩, no? Fair point on the interval, tho
I believe you mean, “nice pun!”
You might find Lojban interesting if you are not already aware. (I haven’t tried to learn it myself, I just know it exists)
If someone wants to start a Lojban pun community, I would definitely subscribe just to learn about Lojban.
Although, if no one posted in the community, I wouldn’t be sure if it was a perfectly logical language or the community was just dead.
