THE EXCLAMATION

The exclamation mark is the mark of strong emotion.

Rules for the Use of the Exclamation

1. After every expression of great surprise or emotion.

Look, my lord! it comes!

Angels and ministers of grace defend us!

Alas! my father.

2. After interjections and other exclamatory words.

Hurrah! Good! Away! Oh!

Where the exclamations are repeated without particularly emphasizing each one, each may be followed by a comma except the last.
