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

    Sure. It takes the same skills as understanding written sarcasm.

    Exclamation points can be very serious.

    Exclamation points are a normal part of English grammar!

    Also, yes.

    I agree! (see what I did there, I used an exclamation mark to draw emphasis to my comment)
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    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. smurfing garbage, I stopped reading them after that.

    One exclamation point is perfectly fine!

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

    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.
