A
gossip report quoted a source who "sounds like a teenage girl when she breathlessly relates (with all kinds of implied exclamation points and italic) that" so-and-so is inseparable from so-and-so. As if the idea of an "implied exclamation point" weren't delicious enough, there's mention of "all kinds" of implied exclamation points! My inner eye is feasting over an entire chart of implied explanation points, each variety clearly distinguished! As there was also mention of implied italic, perhaps each kind of implied exclamation point has an oblique variant.
