It's come to my attention that some people use alot. Hence the poll. Maybe we could set a rule! You can only have have 3 or less marks rather it be explantation or question marks, ect. *now begins the dictatorship*

I'd have to say four or more.

I think the amount/number of exclamation points/marks should really reflex how you feel. At a certain point you should realized you should release your finger from the key and check yourself in for/because of emotional instability.

Edit: I'm not going to vote but you might notice that I rarely use more than one. I would agree with PIBby though, no more than the end of the line you started at. Especiallly when it can be assumed that the line of explanation marks go off the page into infinity.

i said 10 because when people do that insane amount it annoys me. but i never do more than 3. i think people can get the hint without using more than that :wink:

I think there are so many more important things in the world going on that worrying about someones volume of exclamation marks seems frivolous.

I agree with Ty tho... usually the number of exclamation marks goes with the tone of the sentence and exclamation marks can either mean one is angry or very excited.
