I can't take anyone seriously when they use an exclamation point. Can you?

I agree! (see what I did there, I used an exclamation mark to draw emphasis to my comment)

I remember these westerns I read in middle school by J.T. Edson that I loved, but the later books in the series (there were tons of them) started having exclamation points after nearly every sentence. Fucking garbage, I stopped reading them after that. :mad2:

One exclamation point is perfectly fine!

But I can't take people who use more than one seriously!!!!! :mad2:

I use a fair amount of exclamation points and I don't think any less of people for using them. Obviously if they're used excessively or if there's about three of them (Wow!!!), I tend to take it as more of a jokey or silly comment so I do take it less seriously sometimes.

I always have to think to use exclamation points. Guess I'm just not an excitable person.

I think there is definitely a flippant tone to most exclamations.

Don't cross that street!

"lol watch me"

compared to;
DON"T CROSS THAT STREET YOU MUTHASUCKA
"woah k"

Ouch!

How would people class this? Its just a single exclamation point, but there is no text with it to help form an opinion.

Once in a while I can, but usually I just laugh if they are trying to be serious!

You said one would be fine, so I took it completely literal.

I don't see anthing wrong with it. I can see that in a serious way. It's how I would spell a confused/shocked look. Just !.

But some people could think you're being an idiot. I, however, do not :D

Sometimes I walk around with an exclamation point over my head like the guards in Metal Gear Solid!

Maybe it's the field icon from FF IX? You should try hitting your "X" button, wherever you keep it :D
