There was a very funny episode of the much ignored recent tv show "Corporate", called "Thanks!" [1] which dealt with the the now common use of the exclamation mark [!] to convey "pleasantness" in an email

Until I'd watched this i wasn't entirely aware how much I used this too in correspondence to infer joviality or some such.

The "communication experts" seem intent on outdoing each other. I remember reading an announcement from stackoverflow (IIRC) which had hired someone for community management. They were, and I quote, "beyond excited." How ridiculous is that?

They turned incandescent with their excitement

I'm insulted they didn't go full plasma.

I think they became so excited that they visibly radiated their excitement.
