He’s super friendly” could become “I got a new dog; he’s super friendly.” However, you can only use it once per sentence. If you’ve already connected two separate sentences using a semicolon, it’s time to use a period and start a new one.

    So, fun fact. When I did international business, the Germans had the most exclamation points in the emails. They seemed very chipper and excited about the weather! 😂
    The French had fewer exclamation points, and I found out from my tutor when I studied French that unlike the Germans and English speakers, French speakers see exclamation points as expressing anger or annoyance. They see periods as calm. So I always take out ALL the exclamation points in messages and comments to French people.
    It had never occurred to me to think of punctuation as communication in that way differentiated by language up until that point.

    You'd be surprised how many people love punctuation jokes; "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" is a bestseller.

    0:43 "If you don't use !, you're gonna come across cold and emotionless and / or german"
    It's actually funny because I (as a German) was thinking like "do I even use ! in e-mails at all? Is that a thing ppl do? Doesn't it seem rude and loud screaming?"
    (I guess sometimes I use it in e-mails but only if it's a bit more casual)
