Ever since I started getting online I've always been student of expression and communication. This of course has grown increasingly important in a paperless society of social media.
That being said I have never been a fan of the exclamation point. My rule of thumb has been to use it only in cases of written personal conflict; In total my laptop from college that I retired last year probably never executed an exclamation point in it's entire career since I never handle personal conflict o that nature via the www.
I've reformed.
In fact I try to use the powerful symbol as much as possible without being crazy - like one o those intense eBay people:
!!! The ONLY pair of suspenders JOHN PAUL JONES !! Ever needed! Nanana N!!!!$&@&$
I just think it's nice to see it after your name or whatever:
Oliver!
Which looks better?;
Thanks for the fruit.
Thanks for the fruit!
Am I alone to think the former could be drenched in sarcasm? Uh oh, maybe this all contributes to some sort of emotion inflation.
Oh well!
