The noble semicolon; part one and part another. It joins equal; however, it can do even more when it needs to!
The noble semicolon; the joiner of equals. It unites; however, it can do more as the need requires.

¡¡¡¡¡
??? 🙂
The (!) exclamation mark!
It goes so well behind so many words: Love! Joy! Free! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Octothorp although others call it other things #
my dads nuts who has time for punctuation
Wah happened, the !!!!!!!!!! is pretty cool
For a well-known and frequently-used mark, the octothorp has the best name, but the interrobang could be the next best thing…
I still love the period, period.
The period because it is used many different ways..
The asterisk, since it directs one’s attention towards an explanation or clarification. * Pay attention, since this is important! (*The correct spelling and pronunciation is ASTERISK, not ASTERICK)!
I like #. It seems to be used on everything when watching TV these days.
Question Mark.
Exclamation point!
The question mark, the only punctuation mark with a band named for it, (question mark and the mysterions)
and it’s my birthday tomorrow!

Ok,(comma) did I win (?) question mark……….
🙂 Does two count??!!
The exclamation mark! Makes me happy
I’ll say the exclamation mark! It beats typing in ALL CAPS.
Are you kidding?! Have you read “Eats Shoots & Leaves?” The comma–not coma–has incredible power to completely change the meaning of everything you read and/or write.
I like a judiciously used comma, for it can add clarity.
I like the exclamation point which adds emphasis and emotion to comments !
Exclamation mark. It allows me to accentuate so many different feelings!
I like the exclamation point !!! REALLY, I do !!!
Exclamation point. An opportunity to show expression.
My favorite punctuation mark is ! b/c it always indicates something awesome!!!
Period. The end.
I always us the ! Almost too many of them! But I must say that I LOVE my C Crane Internet Radio!!!!! We moved from the SF Bay Area, to the Sierra Foothills, and I couldn’t get my favorite radio station (KSFO) to come in on my radio. I heard the ad about the C Crane Internet Radio – and I can get my favorite station (and any around the world) perfectly clear! Thank you C Crane company!!!!
Spanish uses 2 exclamation marks: ¡Imagine that! The first one does it for me and the second just finishes the thought.
the interrobang. not used nearly often enough.
^Clap^ ^Clap^
My favorite is the ampersand (&)
My favorite is the ampersand &
I have never given much thought which punctuation mark I liked best but your question cased me to give it some thought.
I realized I enjoy using the punctuation mark to let people know I’m being very emphatic and for the reader to realize what I am writing is important and for them to take it seriously!

I like to equivocate….
Exclamation mark!
… ellipsis… I like the way the word ellipsis rolls off my tongue…It also reminds me of former S. F. Chron. columnist Herb Caen…a favorite of mine…R.I.P. Mr. Caen…you are missed…
I like the Ampersand, & then some.
The ampersand &. Always means there’s more coming.
Ampersand – it can connect this & that
The slash when used twice as in JCL statements
//
The semi-colon:
The exclamation mark as who can’t use a bit more enthusiasm
The slash / and apostrophe ‘ I’m also fond of the guillemet although not normally used in English.
!! Emphatic marks mean you know what you are talking about!
