In Exclamation marks^x

You are all great!Oh, oh..I don't know what I was thinking about..!Maybe it's that I haven't slept these days..well, I just realised that in Spanish there is no need to use capital letters after ":" and not after exclamation marks or question marks! I don't know how it is called in English. And...

Hi, should we use a capital letter after a question mark or an exclamation mark? Yes. These things mark the end of a sentence, and thus you need to start a new sentence. Best wishes, Clive

I don't really know where to post this. It's not a grammar question nether a vocabulary in my opinion..Well, should we use a capital letter after a question mark or an exclamation mark? This question came to my mind in a sudden when I was writing a post......I know, I know..it's a stupid...

I just want to add my voice to what Clive said. Unless the person says "Please let me know when you read this, so we can talk about it" or something like that, to respond to every e-mail is NOT a good idea. And if you do need to respond, do not use an exclamation mark, and certainly do not use...

"The way I learned it (which may or may not be right), commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks. Question marks and exclamation marks go inside the quotation marks if they refer to the quote, and outside if they refer to the sentence the quote is a part of." This is my take

It just means that when question or exclamation marks are used, they occur in pairs. It kind of makes sense when you're reading a sentence to know up front whether it will have one of these two exclamation marks at the end, so you gauge your intonation accordingly.

Was that easy! and Am I hungry! are particularly American constructions. I don't think we have this inversion for an exclamation in BrE.When we use the negative, it's formally an interrogative, so if I say Isn't he clever? it's like asking Don't you think he's clever? However, we often put an...
