No more exlamation marks! Heh-heh. It's easy to do this kind of thing when blogging, especially if you don't proof before posting. I find myself over-using a word, or starting too many sentences with "And," if I don't proof carefully. Same thing with--dashes--and elipses. . . That said, exlamation point abuse is more tolerable than apostrophe abuse. Yes! No more exlamation marks! Heh-heh.

Nancy Grace maybe? Not quite sure I even want to know her name, but she always runs headlines that absolutely do NOT justify exclamation points, such as "Britney Spears in legal dispute with agent!" or "Mom of multiples speaks her mind!" or some other trash.
