It should be obvious in context most of the time, yes Jenster.

Catherine, I confess my first drafts often have them to excess. It’s a natural reaction, but easy to go back later and trim them out. I am learning not not to use them in the first place though.

I have to agree with you that !? should never be used at the same time. I don’t think I have even been asked a question by someone yelling at me.

I always have to go and delete.
If the writing of the emotions is clear enough, the lines should not need them.

I don’t think it’s an obsession, just a commentary. And thank you for only using one exclamation mark. 🙂
