My name is Californian Mum in London, and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to using exclamation marks. I use it in texts and emails. On Twitter. On my blog. When you talk to me in real life, you can hear the exclamation marks oozing out of my mouth! I can’t help it! I’m American! We’re an excitable people.
But sometimes, when I am talking to a ‘full-stop Brit’ (for you Americans, British people call a ‘period’ a ‘full stop’) I can see them judging me. They are looking at me wondering why I am exclaiming when a full stop will do. But it won’t do. It just won’t do!
Exclamations are fine to use when showing excitement, extreme emotion or something you might shout. So get off my back British people! Just because I’m American, doesn’t mean that I don’t understand grammar and punctuation. In fact, I love it! I just love it!
This week I am linking up (for the first time!) to All About You which is co-hosted on Mother Wife Me, Mama and More, and City Girl at Heart.

You are too funny !!!!!!!! 😉 I love a good exclaim #AllAboutYou keep on doing what you’re doing x
haha thanks! I’m glad you are so full of excitement!!!! x
Hahaha! I often over-exclaim, and then go back and begrudgingly remove them! I may start adding extra ones in your honour!!! #AllAboutYou
Yes please! Never remove an exclamation mark. When you think you have too many, you might just not have enough!!! 🙂
