Enough with the endless punctuation marks included in text messages. There has to be the understanding that after awhile, the incessant use of the "!" or "?" are going to render their effect useless. How can someone possibly understand the urgency of the message when every other thought is concluded with an "!", "?" or "!!!!??!!"? (That last question mark is legit). It's difficult enough to convey inflection and emotion in a text message, but the irresponsible use of punctuation by numb-thumbers is causing mass chaos amongst those of us who care to comprehend the meaning of the messges we're receiving.
Receiving text messages from a girl that might be someone of interest and trying to decipher the meaning of the text message can be an excruciating exercise. Now why resort to such ultra-resourceful methods you might wonder? Well it's simple, there's no sense in asking questions when the answers are very possibly right before us. The simple use of a an exclamation point following a "yes" can be the difference between "sure it would be nice to see you" or "I definitely am interested in seeing you and I'm excited about it." If people don't start using punctuation more responsibly, there are going to be a lot of us who are sorely disappointed by messages that read one way, but mean something else.
