His post was very funny, but I never personally came across one of >these people, until now... Good, then that leaves me out! However, I've been known to use "exlcaimation" marks, (don't you just hate it when you've posted and see your own spelling mistakes, or keystroke slips, especially in the title). And I object to someone else other than me being given the title Master!! Quick web search gave me the following; --------- -Too Many Exclaimation Points!!- Q: I don't know if you notice this, but you tend to use lots of exclamation points after every sentence. Used sparingly, this is a powerful piece of punctuation. Overdone, it's off-putting and distracting. Maybe I'm just hyper because I'm an English major. You have a respectable personal chart site otherwise, and I can tell you put lots of effort into your work. Let me guess: Canadian?, I enjoy the links to other sites. It makes your site appear professional, as well as enhancing the overall usefulness of the page. A:Hey, I noticed I tend to use a lot of exclaimation marks, as well. I can't really help that, myself. It's just something that I do!! It gives what I say more emphasis, I think. Shows that I really mean what I say. I like to make sure my grammar is correct and everything. I guess the exclaimation marks are a bit overused, though. Maybe I'll slack off on them a bit! Thanks for the nice comments about my site and yes, I'm from Canada. Mike B. --------- Oh yes I'm from Canada !! Sarah.
