What are you views on the use of?
I do try ever so hard not to, however... WSD (wicked step daughter) says I write exactly as I speak, when she reads my emails, blog, she hears me speaking. Is that good I wonder? I am a cliche queen, in my world exclamation marks seem the norm.
I read folks blogs who obviously have a far better grasp of English grammar than I have, I am full of respect for the ease and flow of their words. Mine I feel do reflect my life and the odd way I look at it. This blog after all is for me to look back on and maybe think what a lot of twaddle!?!
It is a beautiful morning here, I am sat with the door open, the sea is calm. This early 7 ish, people are about with shopping bags going along to our lovely fish restaurant Griggs, to get the early morning’s catch. They do wonderful breakfasts and lunches

we had a superb brunch of bacon and scallop rolls. With the house in chaos, I love having an excuse not to cook!

What would I do without exclamation marks? I use them all the time. I also put a row of dots.......thus. I discovered a while ago that I should be using a colon or semi colon at such times but don't remember ever being taught their use!!........so I carry on with the dots !!

I do worry, if you think about it, it shows a lack of imagination if you have to rely on such things, surely the weight of your words should be enough? I am however an explanation mark sort of a woman and will continue to wang them in! Am I bothered............!?!
