! = I'm at a slightly-above-average level of excitement ("I'm finally having turkey for dinner!")
!! = I really am excited ("I can't wait to finally meet you!!")
!!! = This is the biggest shock I've had in a long time ("Cheney shot a guy in the face!!!")
!!!! to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = I'm experiencing temporary paralysis and can't move my fingers away from the Shift and 1 keys

? = This is a question ("How are you?")
?? = This is something I'm quite curious about and would like an answer to! ("Did you know Les Mis is being revived??")
??? = Very confused and probably shocked (also shown with any combination of '?!?!') - ("They voted him as president AGAIN???")
???? to ??????????????????? = Now the right-hand pinkie and ring finger are paralyzed
