Does the exclamation point in a name count as the punctuation at the end of a sentence?

Asked by segdeha (1503 points) | asked February 28th, 2008 | 8 responses | “Great Question” (1 points) | Flag as…

I’m blogging about work I did for a company called Wapid! There, see? “Wapid!” was the last word of that sentence. Should I have put a period after the exclamation point?

sí sí, a period does a sentence good. Silly companies putting punctuation in their names (glares at Yahoo!) make English just a little harder at the end of the day.

Another workaround could be to reword the sentence so it’s not the last word; thus avoiding the awkwardness altogether!

I could rework it, but that feels like surrender. I want to win, win, I tell you!

@squirbel: I am sitting here getting more and more exasperated at many of the noobs’ questions and
didn’t mean to sound so superior. Sorry
