The Guardian writes about the apparent revival of exclamation marks. I’ve visited Westward Ho! in Devon and very impressed to see a huge ! on the signs. It has a lovely beach too. Imagine living there and being able to list Westward Ho! as your address.

I’ve never read Charles Kingsley’s historical novel but 1855 first editions of Westward Ho! are super collectible.

For me, exclamation marks should be used sparingly. When someone writes something and then goes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, they should be hauled out and horsewhipped.
