How to pronounce/refer "!important"?

I'm just wondering, what is the correct way to refer to "!important".
I currently refer it is "not important"--but I guess, it's wrong. What
is the correct way? TIA

I just call it 'important', because that what it is. The ! is just a

the situation of teacher who has to refer the notation when he write
it on board; how should he refer?

<OT>
Here in South India, people refer a*b as "a into b". But, lately I
have seen that Dijkstra refers it as "a times b" (in a google video).

<snip>Yes. a/b is referred as "a by b" in Mathematical context and "a
bar b" referring door numbers (e.g., 20/5). And sometimes "a slash b"
in programming context.

When we start discussing about countries and cultures, we'd get
crazy info. FWIW, I got surprised when someone in a.e.u informed me
that asking marital status in Western countries is an offense.

Unlikely, as the term shebang pre-dates bang paths by some years.

And of course I never implied that there wasn't an existing word "shebang"
that was borrowed as a ref to the symbol pair, the latter symbol of which
is a bang.
