Exclamation Point after Exclamation and before Name Tag
Does it matter whether there is an exclamation mark or a comma after a character exclaims something, if it is followed by a name tag that says the person is exclaiming? For example:
"Oh, come on," he exclaimed angrily and a little more than frustrated.
Or:
"Oh, come on!" he exclaimed angrily and a little more than frustrated.
"Oh, come on," he exclaimed angrily and a little more than frustrated.
Or:
"Oh, come on!" he exclaimed angrily and a little more than frustrated.
