Happy year new. Spanish is weird Lol

The upside down exclamation mark tells you at the get-go the phrase is
an exclamation. Spanish uses question marks the same way. This is
especially useful when the sentences are long.

Every language has idiosyncrasies. English has a reputation of being a
difficult language to learn. You only have to listen to Donald Trump
with his fourth grade vocabulary to realize that.
