As an English teacher I have a slight fascination with punctuation marks. I know when to use a semicolon; I can deploy commas with confidence; and I understand the difference between a bracket and a brace.
I first heard about this nonstandard punctuation mark via Chris Pirillo when he mentioned it on a Twitter post.
Wikipedia has a fairly detailed article about this curious little mark.

Guilty plea. -_-"""
Nowadays, some uberly strict punctuation rules have been relegated to the domain of language purists though I really have admit that they do help for better and more precise comprehension.
I'm a part-time English teacher myself but I'm not as confident as you are in deploying these tiny nuisances.
