Or angers me very much. I usually only use one because it looks neater and even in chat I like to be neat. Am I weird?!?! Just kidding. I do think the net and chatting etc. have made people much less careful about everything: spelling, grammar, and so on. I cannot stand the “u,” “dis” (this) “4rm” (from), which to me does not even come together to pronounce from. This just makes people look silly, especially if you’re over the age of 16. But if people are using mroe than one ! or ? in their professional writing, my gosh, stop right now!

Where did you hear that??? Oh no!!!! Seriously though, I rarely use exclamation marks now-a-days and I stick to one question mark. And, it’s maddening to see others use multiple exclamation marks or question marks, though when I wasn’t into writing so much, I probably was liberal with my use of both. I’m less tolerant now, definitely with my own writing. The bees are dying!!! Where did you hear that??? Oh no!!!!
