Shortening the spoken punctuation tags

BUR #49932 has been rejected.

create alias spoken_ellipsis -> spoken_...
create alias spoken_exclamation_mark -> spoken_!
create alias spoken_interrobang -> spoken_!?
create alias spoken_question_mark -> spoken_?

Not only are these tag name lengthy, they also lack aliases to the actual punctuation, requiring taggers to know the name of the punctuation before they can tag the spoken variant. These aliases are in line with the existing aliases for the punctuation marks themselves.

BUR #49934 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias spoken_... -> spoken_ellipsis
create alias spoken_! -> spoken_exclamation_mark
create alias spoken_!? -> spoken_interrobang
create alias spoken_? -> spoken_question_mark

I still think shortening them is the way to go, but having an alias in the other direction would still be a massive improvement.

While I can see and understand the reasoning behind this BUR, it just feels weird/wrong to me to have the tags like that.

yeah, it works with !? because it's just the punctuation but when there is a word in front of it it looks wrong
