Why end every sodding sentence in an exclamation mark instead of a full stop? It hurts my eyes and makes posts look silly.
The exclamation mark is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or high volume (shouting), and often marks the end of a sentence. Example: ?Watch out!?
You don't bloody well need it when talking about boring shit. I keep seeing this kind of thing.

Totally, totally wrong.
Even worse is the need to use !!!!!!!!! Why? What's wrong with one !?
