Having to choose is bad. But the File has set hard and fast rules which are immutable and, therefore, I usually follow them.

OTOH, I wouldn't normally say "Happy-Cecil-Sharp-noted-his-first-folk-song, Day!" No, a happy? can be a positive, joyous event. It's just that there are so many negative ones to play with.
