It,s a barely literate world out there!
I recently had a bag of Jungle Crackers, which weren’t very good. But these jungle-themed animal crackers got even worse when I noticed that a lion apparently ate the company’s copy editor. Or maybe it was giant mosquito. Or something else big and scary.
Anyway: Roar with delight at the comma mistaken for an apostrophe! Growl with frustration at-the-incorrect-use-of-hyphens! Scratch your head like a confused chimpanzee at the claim that these crackers are “naturally low in fat.” (How is that possible? Do low-fat Jungle Crackers grow on trees?)

Is that an inappropriate use of an exclamation mark, too? "Jungle Crackers wil! make you roar..."

I think that's just the light reflecting off the bag, and not an errant exclamation mark. But all the same: As far as I'm concerned, every exclamation mark is an inappropriate use of an exclamation mark.
