Ambiguity

Uncertainty or doubtfulness of the meaning of language.

When language is capable of being understood in more than one way by a reasonable person, ambiguity exists. It is not the use of peculiar words or of common words used in a peculiar sense. Words are ambiguous when their significance is unclear to persons with competent knowledge and skill to understand them.

It seems that you both do not fall under this bold category. 

OFF TOPIC AGAIN.  ALL WRAPPED UP IN SELF JUSTIFICATION.

You self centered rationalizer.  Contribuite to the topic.  Hair splitting and nitpicking don't help any body except the seld-centered asshole.  Are you a troll.  If you are, I am asking the op to block you.

When you're writing about a chess move, and you put a ! after the move, you are either saying it's a strong move, or you are writing in a sloppy, ambiguous manner. Everybody knows that the ! has a conventional meaning and well as a chess meaning, but when you are writing about a chess move, for a chess-literate audience, the chess meaning in the default. My initial impression was that the OP was under the impression that 3...h6 was a good move (it's not! And it's a wretched move in the normal Fried Liver). So Vybor's post was right on point, and the responsed I have posted above are, at best, misguided

What's the matter? Did we pick on your troll buddy?  If you are a troll I am asking the OP TO BLOCK YOU.

I have no idea why Yaroslav thinks that it's his job to yell at everybody about whether or not their posts meet his standards, but I would assume no one is paying him any attention. Perhaps screaming "TROLL! TROLL!" at everyone is the new kind of trolling.

When you use or read anything, context is the determining factor.

Here, we have a guy who thought 3...h6 was a savvy was to handle Bc4 in the Sicilian, so we know right off the bat that he doesn't know crap about chess.  We can thus deduce with near perfect accuracy that he was using the mark to denote excitement, not chessic excellence.

As always, it's best to avoid using words like "misguided" to describe your intellectual betters.

Hey! This was super helpful. I'm somewhere between a patzer and a duffer and this Fried Liver stuff has been driving me crazy. It's really not a sound opening because of the development so it's irrtitating to end up down a piece or something.
