What's the point? Author defends her pro-exclamation stance

What else is ubiquitous this time of year besides year-end lists and predictions for the future?

The exclamation point!

Think about it — how often do you conclude a holiday greeting with a simple period or nothing at all?

If you’re author Kristen Tsetsi, the answer to that is "rarely" — but as Tsetsi discovered with a recent Facebook rant, her opinion isn’t shared by everyone.

Tsetsi takes on the two most common rebuttals to her pro-exclamation-point stance in a guest post on Jane Friedman’s blog.

Whether it serves as a lighthearted end to a pre-holiday workday or as fodder for your party conversation tonight, we hope you enjoy it.
