Stuart Jeffries (!), at the Guardian (!!), writes about our expanding usage (!) of the exclamation point!
From the story!
exclamation marks - those forms of punctuation derided by the funless and fastidious - are making a comeback, thanks to an internet renaissance that is bleeding over into every form of written communication. Once it was bad form to end a paragraph with an exclamation mark. Now it's borderline obligatory. Once it was enough to put a sign on your door: "Back in five minutes." Now, without the flourish of an exclamation mark, that sign lacks verve or at least zeitgeisty voguishness. Go figure!
That's so funny to me because it means many things when you send a message in your cell phone. Generic Viagra Buy Viagra
