Curation Note: An ode to A Little Life. I have read this so many times - it asks why this book is so hated and whether the grounds for the rage is justified

Curation Note: Another article that suggests the study provides good news on the use of exclamation marks
Original Source: https://theweek.com/culture-life/to-the-point-the-gender-divide-over-exclamation-marks
Treasured: 2 times
Curation Note: Really interesting article suggesting that women use exclamation marks 3x more than men and whilst the use of exclamation marks aren’t a sign of incompetency it can suggest the writer is less analytical. Other interesting findings are that women think about the use of exclamation marks more than me...

Curation Note: Women use them 3x as much as men - used to manage tone. Research suggests that using exclamation marks won't present you as less competent - you may actually come across more warm and likeable.
