According to the BBC,
director Eike Schmidt emailed his staff: "Where punctuation is concerned
it is necessary to avoid altogether, as ever only where possible, exclamation
marks, while with both question marks and exclamation marks only one is
necessary at the end of a sentence with no repetition."

Another inane thing they could also ban: the current compulsion to draw a heart shape with your hands above your chest. It´s ridiculous, because underneath the left boob people should have actual hearts, it would suffice to put your hand there to signal same thing. But maybe it´s the “Spirit of the Times” we live in, where faux emotion beats actual, real 1. It´s good for people with “pretence” hearts, that have actual rubbish underneath there, instead of a decent heart. Hands to gesture what´s not really there.
