Aug 3, 2012 at 12:50 comment added Moosbrugger When I first heard someone say "shriek" for "exclamation point" I broke out laughing (certainly interrupting an explanation they were giving). It's such an evocative word, which one easily forgets as a mathematician repeating it frequently (e.g., the person explaining it to me had never quite thought about the word choice). I also appreciated that in our science we have a much more poetical term for this punctuation mark than in poetry.
