Stuart Jeffries on the Revival of the Exclamation Mark

Count me in with Fitzgerald:

Novelists (at least male ones) are apt to be mean-spirited about dog’s cocks. “Cut out all those exclamation marks,” wrote F Scott Fitzgerald. “An exclamation mark is like laughing at your own jokes.”

(Via Kottke.)
