The exclamation mark ! (also known as exclamation point in American English) is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection, an exclamation, a noise to indicate strong feelings (e.g. surprise, humour, anger), a loud sound (e.g. Bang!), or to show emphasis. The exclamation mark often marks the end of a sentence.
A bare exclamation mark (with nothing before or after) is frequently used in warning signs.
