I use 

	``query'' for `?'
	and ``bang'' for `!'

Are those the usual?  Any other pronunciations?

From article <2968@hubcap.UUCP>, by steve@hubcap.UUCP ("Steve" Stevenson):

The consensus seems to be

	in or input for ``?''
	out or output for ``!''

And no one responded from this side of the Atlantic.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
