Exclamation point

  • Dark
    Light

Article summary

Use exclamation points sparingly, and never more than one at a time. They’re like high-fives: A well-timed one is great, but too many can be annoying.

  • Use it inside quotation marks
  • Use it outside parentheses when the parenthetical is part of a larger sentence
  • Use it inside parentheses when the parenthetical stands alone
  • Use it in titles if required
  • Do not use it in failure messages or alerts

Examples
Wait for me!
You don’t have to be mad to work here… but it helps!
