This reminds me of when I was warned to keep things polite and not shout. My crime was that I ended a phrase with 3 (three) exclamation marks, and someone took it personally.

I have seen people go nuts about that kind of thing. Its mad isn't it? I once got called out for using 4 dots instead of 3 in an elipsis... Admittedly I have never made the same mistake twice but come on, its taking things too far!
I was warned and I told them: From now on I will only use one exclamation mark, but keep in mind, I always think there are three in there, and you can consider that there are three every time you see one, as it is a given. I was told to not be aggressive. We all ended up laughing in the meeting, except the offended person. Nice one!
The offended people rarely laugh even when they really should. Lol.
