Someone asked me yesterday why I do not use exclamation points. I guess I should share that here (just in case anyone is curious). There are three reasons why I do not use exclamation points.
- I do not raise my voice when I speak so I won’t do it when I write.
- I rarely get excited about anything.
- Everyone else uses exclamation points and I want to be different.
I understand that people may feel that I am understating something if I just use a period as opposed to an exclamation point, but I like the approach (or non-approach) to getting my messages across so I will stick with it.
Just a random thought for the day.
