It was damp and chilly afternoon, so I decided to put on my sweatshirt!!! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 24, 18:48
I imagine we'd be yelling less. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 24, 18:43
I suppose it's kind of useful to have punctuation marking the writer as an idiot. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 18:41 9
- It may not be the writer's fault. It might be some PR person's idea after it was sent to a survey panel. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 24, 18:43
- I'll be impressed if you've never used an exclamation point in your entire ST history. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:43 7
  - Exclamation marks serve a purpose in indicating mode. Hashtags do, what exactly? -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 18:44 6
    - They isolate and standardize the topic being discussed into a discrete keyword. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:46 5
      - Kind of like a title! - Reagen Aug 24, 18:48 3
        
        Titles often have spaces, which are harder to search with. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:50 1
        
        Also, titles are sometimes useless or duplicated. "It". "Drive". "Crash". "Gigli". -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:51
        
        If your film title is over 140 characters long you're doing something wrong. -- nm - Ender Aug 24, 18:49
      - The problem here is that the movie should actually be called #shittymarketingploy -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 18:46
