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
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.
