Punctuation marks are childish. They're also a way for people who
can't write well enough to convey their intent and emotions through
prose. If you write something inquisitive, I'll answer. If you just
state something, putting in a stupid question mark isn't going to make
it a question. And if you write something excited or stressful but
fail to convey such, using an exclamation mark isn't going to make
it excited or stressful.
I am so angry and nervous now. The question is whether you see this
paragraph or not, and whether I need to put in a punctuation mark to
make my attitude clear or not. I didn't think so.
