Exclamation points

Outside of technical content, exclamation points (!) can be a quick way to add emphasis to copy but are often deployed at the expense of style. 

In blog copy or certain marketing material, you can use them sparingly but never more than one per page.

Never use exclamation points in Anapedia.
