... I´m so happy with the honor! So hard contest, with so many great watches and great photographers!
Yes, in Spanish we use the ¿ and ¡ simbols at the beginning of the phrase. This gives a hint of the sense of the coming sentence.
Anyway, though not an accepted practice, I got so accustomed to use exclamation or interrogative simbols at the end only, when writing mails in Spanish!
I send my congrats and best wishes to you again Nilo!
Abel.
