    Yes. But I think the '!' emphasises the fact that it's important. "LOOK HERE! DO THIS!"

    @1nfiniteLoop for emphasis, we can still use two exclamation marks
    !!important
    Or any even number of it
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!important

    @uddinstock Yeah, that would be logic. But CSS doesn't care...

    @psfr937 Then, lazy designers would start to stack !!!! In order to override styles and everything would become a mess.

    Just cause in basically all other languages it means not doesn't mean in one language it couldn't mean something else

    How about adding a order to importants? The more exclamation marks you write the more important it is? 😂

    @floatright haha xD Maybe you can push it a bit to the right. So we get important! Instead of !important
