A former coworker had an abiding aversion
to exclamation points. I did my part to help her via flooding therapy, but no

kinda hate them too. I use them – just as I’ve been known to type out LOL or
OMG. I hate those, too. But I still use them.

ReplyDeleteYes. I always feel I've failed when I use OMG or Lol or an enough, and I try to curb my use of exclamation marks (as we call them). But frequently fail too.
ReplyDeleteI used exclamation points (but only one, and only once or maybe twice in a piece, email, text, tweet, status update, etc. I am pretty sure I have never written LOL or OMG since the turn of the century.
ReplyDeleteExclamation points exhaust me.
