Excessive Exclamation!!: Home Run!!! Go Mariners!!!

Home Run!!! Go Mariners!!!

If this was a three-run home run, I would let this triple pass. But three exclamation points for a solo shot? I don't think so.

And before he could round third, they did it again. The 2012 Seattle Mariners: More exclamation points than victories!!!

Obviously not a Mariners fan. Their offense is so anemic-- any run scored is cause for excessive jubilation!!!

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."
