Exclamation marks are contagious!

I discovered a niche where people exclaim a lot. I feel like it’s another planet.

Recently, I made a professional connection in real life. All of her emails have a lot of exclamation marks.

Example of exclaiming email, first line:

Hi Lightbrite!

Example of emails before meeting the exclaiming person, first line:

Hi Lightbrite,

OR

Hi Lightbrite:

Do you feel like you’re yelling? I don’t anymore. I used to think exclaimation marks are used rarely or moderately. Now I see them and type them frequently.

The good thing is that I feel like I am being super enthusiastic though. Which is the vibe I get from her. She is very friendly and straight-forward.

At the same time, just a month or two ago I remember thinking that exclamation marks made some posts sound like shouting. Maybe you weren’t shouting.

I don’t know. It’s so confusing. Also I like smiley faces way more when they don’t follow exclamation marks. I really mean it when I type a smiley face.

Do smileys and exclamation marks contradict?

Thank you! 🙂

See.. it’s diff than:

Thank you 🙂

The whole line makes a bar… but without the exclamation than the U is connected to the smiley’s eyes 🙂
