The exclamation point (!) is a mark of punctuation used after a word, phrase, or sentence that expresses a strong emotion. Also called an exclamation mark or (in newspaper jargon) a shriek. The exclamation point was first used in English in the 16th century. However, the mark didn't become a standard feature on keyboards until the 1970s.
Use an exclamation point [ ! ] at the end of an emphatic declaration, interjection, or command. No! he yelled. Do it now!. An exclamation mark may be used to close questions that are meant to convey extreme emotion, as in. What on earth are you doing!
