##### Rule: No Bang!
References to Joomla in language strings should not include the exclamation point unless it is at the end of a sentence that is intended to be exclamatory.

###### Rule of thumb
Whenever you can substitute "your Joomla CMS" in place of "Joomla" and still make sense, then it's descriptive and no bang needed.


##### Exception to the Rule: Trademarks that contain Joomla
Whenever the Joomla name is part of or nested inside another multi-word Joomla-related trademark or service mark then the exclamation point should be used even though it is mid-sentence. If the use is a proper name it should have capitalised initials, Joomla should include the exclamation point and it should be followed by a TM indicia.
Examples: References to the Joomla! Extensions Directory™, the Joomla! Framework™ or Joomla! 3.4 as a product.
