@cfm In apps, exclamation points should be used to express danger, risk, an important warning. This is even more true for a platform where security is essential. The idea is to catch the users’ attention when it is required only :)

Hi, @cfm As a writer, I can say that exclamation points are often misused these days. They should be used for exclamatory sentences, not to emphasize. Did you read https://writingexplained.org/grammar-dictionary/exclamation-point As for L10, different languages have different grammar rules :)

Thanks, @AOLocalizationLab. This string was changed in https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/commit/aa4b45ec8f237ba24da85abbc237d6b47059365f, but the exclamation mark has been in place for a long time. This is idiomatic in casual English, but it sounds like there's a localization reason to avoid it. Is that right?

(The suggestion period for v2.5.0 has passed, but I'm happy to follow up on this change as necessary.)

@AOLocalizationLab, I've added an explanation linking source to the glossary entry for "Designation".

@pappasadrian, yes, exactly. Because this label is replaced by an icon, there's no screenshot associated with it.

This is an inappropriately used exclamation point: https://writingexplained.org/grammar-dictionary/exclamation-point

What lies behind {source}?

Is this a verb, as in "mark starred"?
