An Admirable Point

A Brief History of the Exclamation Mark!

Florence Hazrat

Since its invention in Italy in the 14th century the exclamation mark has found its way into almost every language. With examples including the punctuation of Hamlet and the slogans of Macron, Merkel and Sunak, Florence Hazrat explores both how the ‘screamer’ has been used to signify excitement, warning and protest and why it is often decried as annoying or unnecessary.
