Okay, I'll be wary of exclamation points, but I'm not giving up ellipses, regardless of how they're used elsewhere. Nope. Never.
Still I hate to give up exclamation points entirely.
You're right that both careful grammar and reading are essential.
I'd forgotten about the use of the cross in bram Stoker's novel.
Revising that fantasy now - Clark as the Fanged Blood Sucker (and Mate Muncher) and Lois as the Cross-toting Nun.
Bet he add's an exclamation point after saying to her "I want to suck your blood!"
(I love discussing these things by the way. I don’t any solid answers by any means but I love posing them and hearing other people’s opinions.)
Oh, me too. May I please use another exclamation point?
