An '''exclamation point''' refers to the ! symbol. It is used for emphasis, although in formal writing, its use is generally limited. In [[mathematics]], the exclamation point means "[[factorial]]", and can be placed after integers to indicate the multiplication of that [[integer]] by all preceding positive integers . For instance, 5! can be read as "5 factorial", which means "5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1". 0! is defined to be 1.

Liberals often abuse the exclamation point. This flows from the illogical axiom that the louder one is the more right they are. We know however, through overwhelming scientific evidence, consensus, and biblical sport, that this is not true. Jesus said "Be now my people and spread thy truth through soft words for compassion is the way of the virtuous"
