"Me, writing an email:
I’m using an exclamation point so you know I’m friendly and excited! But now I’m using a period so that you know I’m not crazy. Here’s another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!"
Ohhhhhh. Penny drops.
I always interpreted those as meaning “so exasperated with you I can’t even finish my sentence”.
Of late punctuation seems to be interpreted as aggression I will not participate in the madness full stop exclamation point period
I don’t. know. whether, to, be, dismayed; or: delighted!
I must be coming across as super aggressive and alpha.
Or you’re just William Shatner.
Or… Walken!
