Exclamation point or mark? In the days when we used to read copy òut loud to check for accuracy, one of us would read the original whilst the other read the typeset copy . Punctuation was verbalised as follows.... full stop was 'stop' a comma was 'comma' and the exclamation mark was 'dog's chopper'.....honest that's true.

huh, and I thought "funny how we talk, ain't it?" was the catchy part of my post .. turns out the whole metric thing took over ..
Oh well, still stirred the conversation a bit.
In some places in the US the use of the word 'yonder' is the worst.
Where is the outhouse? .. over yonder (what does that mean?? what measuring system?)
or my 4 wheeler broke down, come get me .. ok where are you? .. over yonder past the wash out (pronounced 'warsh out', BTW)
It's a wonder we can even communicate over here, it's like the tower of Babel all over again <grin>
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Incidentally, in Australia we would generally always use the term "Exclamation Mark" (not Point). In fact, I don't recall ever seeing the text "Exclamation Point" until it showed up in the BiaB documentation. And we use the term "full stop" (.) for what the Americans call a "period" (I believe)

Australia went fully metric in the 1970's. No half measures, just fully metric.
No more pints, gallons, 'twelve and thirteen sixteenths of an inch' measurements or 5,280 feet in a mile. And inch by inch we got there ....... 
Cheers,
Keith
