question help: Why do people put exclamation points at the end of questions! - Help.com

If I’m not mistaken but, an exclamation is used when a person is making a statement.

I.E. I said what the hell!

Normally it would be used with speech marks and like a lot of the idiosyncrasies, are probably a throw back to a time when full stops and commas weren’t used. You have a point, I have no idea why either.

Its to add Enphasis micheal, ummm like shot up the wall !!! said with excitment or something expressed with anger, the exclamation marks, just make a remark stand out, or as if its got emotional enphasis… Im not explaining this real well am I lol

She said with excitement in her voice “Look at the train!! ” make sence ?

Only a question mark if its a question, “where is the train going ?”

If they put it at the end of a question, its because they are umm kind of shocked and they may be, being sarcastic…Oh yes you would do that, wouldnt you !!!!

Sometimes I say “Why?!” with a question mark AND an exclamation mark, for emphasis.

Some of it is chat talk, and because we have to communicate via typing, its sometimes hard to express emotions :-)

Exactly florie yep :-)

:)

sometimes!

Do you feel happier now michael ? sorry I didnt explain it too well lol
