Top Comments of this video!! :3
I just replied on an email chain with a casual greeting (Hey <Name>,)to hammer home that as a customer I can take a slightly informal tone when they can’t. For the body, no exclamation points in the message, to convey that I wasn’t impressed with the quality of response they sent before. Then we end with a “Thanks!” to temper the mildly annoyed tone and imply that I’m not holding a grudge about it.
It’s exhausting 😅

I do EXACTLY this. I don’t study or work in linguistics, but I started learning about it way back when I was around 10 and having that basic knowledge has helped me throughout all my academic and professional work ever since. As an autistic person, studying linguistics was better than any therapy. We need the international Olympiad of linguistics for students to come back and be just as recognised as the science/math ones.

I think it has a lot to do with tone. The period expresses firm, authoritative tone. The exclamation point expresses a more friendly and upbeat tone. And since things like punctuation are some of the few ways we’re able to convey tone in writing, we pay more attention to how they contribute to the overall tone of the message.
I actually think we do something similar when speaking aloud - using a mix of tone delivery to portray a certain overall vibe. And I think punctuation can pertain to one sentence when we’re only looking at or using one sentence at a time — because tone is always affected by every part of what we say, not just each part individually.

I always felt kinda like this:
Punctuation creates an additive emotion. What I mean by that is, the emotion lasts for the rest of the email. For example, exclamation marks add excitement, periods remove excitement (or add seriousness), and commas add a sort of informational tone.
While that's fine on its own, there is a bit of a sweet spot, if you're just using exclamation marks and periods: you don't want to sound too excited or too serious (too many exclamation marks or too many periods), so you balance them out as you go, as they sort of neutralize each other, so you need to find that sweet spot.
This doesn't necessarily apply when you're conveying an explanation with commas, as it would be a bit weird if you were super enthusiastic about an explanation, so being more serious-sounding is more natural, and thus, more periods than exclamation marks is more natural.
For an email, we have a sort of "business casual" mindset, so we want to be enthusiastic (but not too enthusiastic), and we want to be serious (but not too serious), so we usually balance it out sentence-by-sentence in whichever way best aligns with our mindset about it.

“We’re not friends. I don’t know you. I don’t hate you though! I’m using exclamation points so you know my directness and formality aren’t hostile!” Is such a weirdly niche thing we all experience
