uh, the exclamation point is a proper punctuation mark it can't be broken down, just like two ' do not mean the same thing as a " and : != ; Similarly . + , != ; You don't get to play Mr. Potato Head with all the random junk and make your own punctuation.

Jeez, why not? Many of the people here play with the letters in the alphabet and make up their own words...

Yes, considering that a large stick is aiming for it. The dot is obviously the feminine part of an exclamation.

 

[notfred]

It's not called anything. It's just a part of an exclamation point. You know the little line in the middle of a capital "H"? It's not called anything either. Similarly, the three lines that make up a capital "Y" don't have individual names. They're just "Y".

DIAF.

 

[xSauronx]

the similar dot over an "i" is called a tittle...

i only remember this, because in a 7th-grade bible class that was being taught by our english-teaching sub, someone in the bible mentioned a tittle, someone asked what it was, and she drew a circle around the dot of an i.

imagine that, then the word "tittle" makes perfect sense

it took her a moment to get us all to stop laughing.

[Reel]

It is probably called the same as the bottom dot in a colon.

 

[raz3000]

Same thing you call the question mark dot.
