Wordworking: X is for !!!!!!!



Please, whatever you do, avoid exclamation points in your writing! They are so annoying and the words should be strong enough to stand without them! And above all else, resist the temptation to use multiple exclamation points to really bring a point home!!!!

That is all.

  5. Short and sweet.

    I'm not a huge exclamation point user. Well in my writing. In my e-mails and personal stuff I tend to use them. But hey, my grammar kinda sucks too when I'm not 'writing' writing. :)
