Elaine: Well, I was just curious why you didn’t use an exclamation point?

Jake: What are you talking about?

Elaine: See, right here you wrote “Myra had the baby”, but you didn’t use an exclamation point.

Jake: So?

Elaine: So, it’s nothing. Forget it, forget it, I just find it curious.

Jake: What’s so curious about it?

Elaine: Well, I mean if one of your close friends had a baby and I left you a message about it, I would use an exclamation point.

Jake: Well, maybe I don’t use my exclamation points as haphazardly as you do.

Elaine: You don’t think that someone having a baby warrants an exclamation point.

Jake: Hey, I just chalked down the message. I didn’t know I was required to capture the mood of each caller.

Elaine: I just thought you would be a little more excited about a friend of mine having a baby.

Jake: Ok, I’m excited. I just don’t happen to like exclamation points.

There’s three things I hate about punctuation; commas, semicolons! and periods:

Ha! That scene was my first thought.

[DaxtonBrown]

It is also National Grammar Police Day, National Spelling Police Day and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Day!!!!

:) Just teasing.

Elaine: And one more thing, you really think we need the exclamation point? Because, it’s not “Top of the Muffin *TO YOU!!!*”

Mr. Lippman: No. No. It is.

[Gator113]

Hmmmm, this, sounds, important!!!!

It’s a shame these same folks didn’t make a peep about MIA-POW day....

They said they would “Never Forget”, but they did.

[earlJam]

Yeah. Those days are almost as bad as the Already Posted Here Days we have sometimes around here.

Frustrated by the large amount of mistakes he noticed in the newspaper...

Better grammar: "the large number of mistakes...."

You know what bugs me? People who try to end a discussion by demanding that they had the final word on the matter by writing the word "Period" as its own sentence.

Period.
