simmer

I've discovered that people who use exclamation marks excessively frighten me. I’m a firm believer that such an expressive, dramatic punctuation mark should be used sparingly and with caution. The overuse by some individuals is actually disturbing. The folks are either a) incorrect in their usage , b) overly perky in a creepy way , c) on speed or other stimulants, or d) all of the above. Not only is this phenomenon disconcerting, it is distressing in an annoying manner. Imagine each sentence in this paragraph ending in the deviant exclamation mark, rather than the more appropriate period. I could type it as so, but fear the pain on my eyes.
Personally, as I read, I do so with the expression and mood that the author has skillfully and craftily created and offered to me. Therefore, reading something overloaded with symbols that suggest excitement can be exhausting. It’s almost as if your eyebrows need to be raised with expression in order to fully experience the emotion of the writing. That is simply not normal. Nor is it appreciated in my opinion. Reading should be enjoyable, not exhausting or annoyingly perky.
(I do realize that I have used the mark below, “What a concept!” However, it is clear to see that this was to show sarcastic excitement.)
