Sigil Cycle

[[A graph with a sine wave plotted on it. The y-axis is marked 'Odds that a word I type will start with some weird symbol' and the x-axis is marked 'Time ---->'. The first peak is labeled '$QBasic, the first trough is labeled 'C++'. The next peak is marked '$Bash, @$Perl, the next trough is marked 'Python'. The final peak says '+Google, @Twitter, #Hashtags'.]] {{Title text: The cycle seems to be 'we need these symbols to clarify what types of things we're referring to!' followed by 'wait, it turns out words already do that.'}}
