The title of this thread: "Wow Such cheese Man uses Dogecoin to buy pizza and beer in Hawaii." A bit difficult to decode.

The title of the article: "Wow! Such cheese! Man uses Dogecoin to buy pizza and beer in Hawaii." Much clearer.

Hmm. Does the HN software automatically delete punctuation from text submitted as a title?

The ! are stripped. I saw a few problems before, for example with:

* the "not equal" operator: != (something like "Joe Doe Proved that Is P=NP")

* the "factorial" notation: n! (something like "Why 0=1?")

Usually the moderators add the ! when someone notice the missing !.
