Excessive Exclamation!!: Don't even think about skimping here!

Don't even think about skimping here!

This pizza shop seems so serious about strongly commanding that their customers not skimp, that it would make me nervous to eat there. I'd feel so worried that maybe I was skimping without realizing it, and I wouldn't want to face the consequences.

The Grammar Police

The exclamation point is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or high volume (shouting), and often marks the end of a sentence. Example, "Watch Out!" A Sentence ending in an exclamation mark is an actual exclamation ("Wow!", "Boo!"), the imperative mood ("Stop!"), or intended to be astonishing or show astonishment ("They were the footprints of a gigantic hound!). Overly frequent use of the exclamation mark is generally considered poor writing, for it distracts the reader and reduces the mark's meaning. And, as F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "An exclamation point is like laughing at your own jokes."
