I've been poisoned by exclamation marks.

If I've learned anything in the past six months, it's that clients have an obsession with exclamation marks. In the beginning I bravely stood up to those exclamation marks, kicking their tall tails off, turning them back into periods. Yet, I find the exclamation allies are growing and I fear without reinforcements, this army of over enthusiasm may overtake all forms of English communication.
