Exclamation Points

It hit me while texting that the usage of exclamation points can truly, truly confuse someone about your tone.


For example:

Hello - plain, can be bored... open for interpretation
Hello! - pleasant greeting
Hello!!!!! - overly excited, desperate, impatient

Ahhh - understanding, profound, collected
Ahhh! - more excited about understanding, still collected
Ahhh!!!!! - alarming, frustrated, impatient

Looking forward to it - professional, smooth
Looking forward to it! - still smooth, demonstrates a note of positivity but still professional
Looking forward to it!!!!! - desperate, impatient

Note to self, watch my exclamation point usage.
