Use Interjections with Care

An interjection is an emotional greeting or phrase, usually followed by an exclamation point.

Example

Expressions such as Hooray!, Excuse me!, Sorry!, No thank you!, Oh dear!, and Hey, that's mine! are interjections.

In rare cases, an interjection might be appropriate in technical content.

Example

At the end of a procedure that targets novice users, you might write, "Congratulations! You successfully created your first Atlas cluster."

The tone of an interjection can be condescending. Use them sparingly and with care.
