    Americans are taught it as exclamation point and everyone else mark.

    I've never heard of 'Exclamation Point'. I've always been taught 'Exclamation Mark'.

    Mark also sounds better. xD

    This "!" is clearly an exclamation mark, however much I would prefer the alternative.

    I believe it's pronounced "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29">bang</a>".

    they can't both be mark, duh
    A is a a letter, B is a letter.
    1 is a number, 2 is a number.
    It's very easy for them to both be marks.

    That's what it is - a mark. Not a point. Even under the definition of "exclamation point" in America's dictionary.com it says mark repeatedly as an explanation as to what it is. A point is a small dot or square, such as a period. The exclamation mark has a point, but it is not a point itself. Just like I have a head, but that does not mean I am nothing but a head, nor does it mean I am a head. I am a human that has a head, just like the exclamation mark is a mark that has a point.

    And there you go.

    was all like to who was acctually feeling due to the fact that :oscar: & :frylock: couldn't go to his b'day party. patted him on the back and :mog: said there's always next year. felt more , felt , but :moose: (who knows when (as the person he is) he came in) was more of a . :magus: jumped in and told that no one really likes him. BROKEN ran everyone over with a :sophia:. So lived happily ever after, especially after he had with :rsl:
    The end!
