OK here’s the thing. My new boss has issues with exclamation marks. No, seriously, she will not tolerate them. at. all.

I reckon an exclamation mark has wronged her in a big way in the past, and she’s developed a grudge.

It’s not like my issues with apostrophes (and thank God, we haven’t had an apostrophe disagreement yet), where the usage is pretty prescribed, because exclamation mark usage is kind of personal.

You use an exclamation mark to, well, exclaim! I’ve been known to do a bit of exclaiming in my lifetime, so this is hard!

What makes it harder still, is that we work in a communications and marketing area where the whole point of the exercise is to get people excited. Now you tell me, how do you get people excited without using exclamation marks?

hmmm, on second thoughts, you better not. I know the calibre of reader I have here…. :wink_wp:

In other news, W T F is this guy thinking?
