Object 1 - the exclamation point


A former coworker had an abiding aversion to exclamation points. I did my part to help her via flooding therapy, but no matter how many exclamation point-riddled emails I sent, she never improved. I 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.

  2. I 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.
