    Exclamation marks!!!!!

    I just got an email announcement in my inbox from one the projects at client co, detailing some of the latest changes that have happened on their system.

    There are six news items, each with a headline! Every headline ends with an exclamation mark! Every news item ends with an exclamation mark! Most of the news items contain 2 or 3 of them! The pattern seems to be start with a sentence that doesn't have one and follow it with 2-3 more that do, except in a couple of cases where they have left out the one without!

    **** me that's annoying! Was your full stop key broken?!
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      People's use of the exclamation mark is a very good indicator of how much of a baffoon they are.

      Overuse points to sociopathic tendencies, in my opinion.
