* Although some would say that you have five exclamations available for the whole of your writing life (so use them sparingly), that\\\'s going a bit far; and both exclamation points and question marks stack at least once. Two question marks goes for a level of \\\"incredulous\\\" where a single question mark indicates a mere question; the use of two exclamation points together, or one question mark plus one exclamation point, have similar uses. They all indicate a tone of voice not well conveyed on paper, and they\\\'re all legitimate - depending on the arena for which you are writing.
I\\\'ve never known anyone well-versed in English to accept the stacking of exclamation points or question marks as anything but [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma Wanton Cruelty]]. I\\\'ve especially never heard of anyone who seriously considered double question marks acceptable until I read this.
