What kind of punctuation mark shows excitement?

There isn't one specific punctuation mark that universally shows excitement. However, here are some that can contribute to conveying excitement in writing:

* Exclamation points (!): This is the most obvious choice and is often used to emphasize a statement or show strong emotion, including excitement.

* Ellipses (...): These can be used to build suspense or suggest excitement, especially in dialogue. For example, "I can't believe it... We won!"

* Capital letters: Using all capital letters can be used to express excitement, but it's important to use it sparingly as it can come across as shouting.

* Repetition: Repeating words or phrases can also convey excitement, such as "Wow! Wow! That was amazing!"

* Short, choppy sentences: These can add a sense of urgency and excitement to writing.

Ultimately, the best way to show excitement in writing is through the use of strong verbs, descriptive language, and evocative imagery.
