Damn "!!!!"

You know, maybe it's the newspaper editor in me, but for the life of me, I could not get over Sedaris' (to me) over use of exclamation points. Call me a nick-picky, but the use of exclamation points even once, in my opinion is already too many times.

In all my years of learning the craft of writing, I've been taught that the frequent use of exclamation points were to be considered poor writing skills. I just can't seem to find the justification for using exclamation points four times in once piece no matter what the circumstances.

Some might consider me stuck in folly thinking. That may be the case.

But I don't care!!!!

Heh.
