She exclaimed

[charliesmum]

I caught a few minutes of some short film on the Logo Channel, wasn't really paying attention, had to do with personal ads, or something. Anyway, they had superimposed over the scene the ads, and one of them said, and I'm paraphrasing,

'an exclaimation point is the grammatial equalivant of laughing at your own joke.'

'Multiple exclaimation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind. Terry Pratchett

'an exclaimation point is the grammatial equalivant of laughing at your own joke.'

I think that may be from Strunk & White. It's definitely from SOME book I have.
