The use of the 'exclamation mark' in sentences nowadays is just out-rightly alarming. Is it that our secondary schools fail to imbibe simple usage of punctuation in our young ones? I read so many posts and opinion on the internet and I'm alarmed at the rate people use the exclamation mark with reckless abandon. You ask someone, "how are you today?" And she replies "I'm fine!!", Someone lost a job opportunity the other day and posted, "I feel sober!!" Seriously? Why shouting then? You should be calm! Seems to me like everyone is raising their voice nowadays o. I'm not even going to talk about the normal use of 'am' instead of 'I am' or I'm. Common na... na wa o. So, What do you think? Reckless punctuation usage, Is it just an 'in thing' now, or ignorance? Share your views! |

jaryeh: You're right OP. But what can we do to help such people. By grooming them well I guess. And making them realise when they make simple mistakes too. |
