There are other ways of saying, �Good job�. Such as "excellent", "way to work it," "bravo" or "terrific".
Anything wrong with punctuation?
What are other ways to rephrase it. |

Exclamations, such as the ones you have used, should have exclamation marks after them.
Well done!
Excellent!
Bravo! |

There are other ways of saying, "Good job!". Such as "excellent!", "way to work it," "bravo!" or "terrific!".
Like that? |

uh-oh, i just realized----
do you mean how to punctuate and/or rephrase the actual sentence you wrote?
in that case, you will need help from someone who is more gifted with remembering punctuation than me!!!
waiting for another response,

This is often a problem, and many people think that you should use quotation marks only for spoken speech.
Many people would write it like this: There are other ways of saying 'Good Job,' such as 'excellent,' 'way to go,' 'bravo' or 'terrific.'
Anther solution is to put the words such as excellent or bravo in italics.
Publishers are not agreed on the rules and often have specific house rules to help authors set the sentence to their liking and editors to correct them.
My recommendation is to use italics and not quotation marks. |

Why is *Good Job* written in uppercase other than the rest?
Thanks |

Oops! Typo, that's all.
Sorry for that. I did not do a good job or a Good Job either.
When to use capital letters is a complex subject. For example, there is a difference between a Foreign Secretary and a foreign secretary. |
