How many exclamation points?

? ?

Oh, I am definitely a parentheses girl. And this too, when you - in some sentences - divide with hyphens.

Here is the wikipedia page for “!”
Great stuff!
And I learned something new:
“In subtitles, a (!) symbol (an exclamation mark within parentheses) implies that a character has made an obviously sarcastic comment eg: ‘That’s a great idea Ali (!)’”

I use them to set interjections apart from the sentence following.

I use commas when the feeling’s not as strong.

Hyphens are used between words or the syllables of words. You should use em-dashes to divide sentences. You can approximate an em-dash with two hyphen, or if you have a Mac, you can produce an em-dash with Option-Shift-hyphen (or Option-Underscore, if you’d rather think of it that way), or, on a PC, Alt-0151. (Hold down the Alt key as you hit the numbers in sequence on the number pad, then release.) M$ Word will auto-correct two hyphens to an em-dash—unless you have turned that option off.

Also, there should be no spaces around the em-dash.

When a female grammarian has vaginal intercourse for the first time, her hyphen is broken. From - to --. :wink:

Aww, don’t get pisto, it’s only a lame pun.

:smiley: Nice!!!
