It should be mentioned I'm highly medicated right now....feeling very giggly. And like I want to yell a lot. So, um, yeah...the number of exclamation points should be considered with those factors! Even if I'm usually exclamationpointy, I don't usually use...um...ten or however many. Really.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
Terry Pratchett says that three exclamation points in dialogue is the hallmark of the deranged character.
Or, David Walker.
I love David Walker. He is my typographical inspiration. Plus, you know, the rhetoric.
