Punctuated Exclamation

It would be nice if there were a punctuation mark to express a level of emphasis between the period and the exclamation point. That is all.

Maybe you could add a + or a - after each.

I think there should be some kind of device that forces writers to justify their use of an exclamation point before a wordprocessing program allows them to use it.

Bwhahaha... yeah, it could be called StyleFascist. It would also avoid the use of cliches like the plague.
