Exclamation marks

An exclamation mark (!) is the loudmouth of the group, shouting its emotions for all to hear, while the demure full stop (.) simply declares, 'That's all, folks!' and drops the mic.

Exclamation marks '!' – Marks a forceful utterance

We typically use exclamation marks after interjections or sentences to show powerful emotion, utterance or very strong sentiment regardless of positive or negative reactions.

Exclamation marks should only be used when necessary and not abused, because they can be seen as aggressive in writing.
