Excessive Exclamation!!: I did my own laundry!!!

I did my own laundry!!!

I don't usually post excessive exclamation from Facebook because it's like shooting fish in a barrel, but poor Emilie is just too much. I'm proud of you for doing your own laundry, but was that really worthy of a triple?

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."
