"Me, writing an email:

I'm using an exclamation point so you know I'm friendly and excited! But now I'm using a period so that you know I'm not crazy. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Thanks so much!"

okay but in your work emails do you say "for fuck sake," or "for fucks' sake?" It's an important distinction so that you sound professional.

I say, "for fuck's sake" so they know they're dealing with my last one if they're paying attention.
