An exclamation mark is usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or high volume. An exclamation mark is used to indicate that your written argument should be taken serious, and thus shouldn’t be used lightly. Why is it that some lame individuals don’t grasp this concept of prioritizing e-mails? An e-mail of high importance (labeled with an exclamation mark) should not be the solution of choice, when you simply can’t resist telling your friends about the Gucci product you just found on sale. Nor should it be used to tell your colleagues that you intend to replace the letterhead paper in the company printer, with neon green paper for your confidence class paper. If you can’t resist the urge to send all your mail as “High importance”, chances are that you sit in a lonely cubicle on the roof for reason. Unless your message carries an important message and addresses appropriate recipients, keep your trigger happy mouse finger, away from the exclamation mark! The way I just used it is acceptable, as a termination to “Run fuckers, the building is on fire” is acceptable – “I just farted in the coffee area!” is not.
