Is there a legitimate reason for excessive ? & ! & ...'s when asking a question or answering?

Answer 1

dont ask me, you can check my questions, i dont use em excessively

Answer 2

There are places they are appropriate when used conscientiously, but can be overbearing, I suppose. That is, if you are sensitive to the excessiveness of them.

Most people pretty much ignore it and move on to a more comfortable question.

Answer 3

Freedom of expression?
To provide a visual commentary using symbols rather than words?
To redirect and influence the use of the English language? (Nah... I thought not. But e.e. cummings WAS onto something!)

Answer 4

Yes, I have obsessive compulsive disorder and sometimes get hung up on them. I like to have them in a set of 4 or a multiple of 4 *shrug*....

Answer 5

its easier for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to say. Like... that right there i used mutliple periods to show a pause. If someone uses mutliple question marks its like answering and asking a question you know??

To use emotion and expression and grab peoples expression to get more answers or to show how you feel about the question
