I wonder if it's illegal for presidents to have sex with anyone they
want, wherever they want.

I said ILLEGAL.


Of course not. But it *is* illegal to swear under oath that you did not
in a lawful investigation. It's called perjury.

Yes, I know perjury is illegal, but that's not the question I asked, now
is
it? If you disagree, be a linguist for a moment and show me how I
could've
written my question more clearly.


End it with a question mark?



A question mark does not belong at the end of the sentence in the form I
wrote it. No competent student of our native would disagree.

Wait a minute. I just included a couple typos in a joke about sex
before the Mass. Why didn't you point out those typos?
Like I'm pointing out your "student of our native" typo.
I think it's because you just like me.
Or maybe you don't like bad jokes and don't bother reading them.

You asked how to write a question that was clearer. I suggested that
you should try ending questions with a question mark. I made no
comment other than that about your deficient writing skills.

What is a "student of our native"? LOL!


It's called a typo.

Now, onward:

Verson 1) I wonder if it's illegal for presidents to have sex with anyone
they want, wherever they want.


Version 2) I wonder if it's illegal for presidents to have sex with anyone
they want, wherever they want?


Are you telling me that YOU believe version 2 to be easier for you to
understand, the only difference being the presence of the question mark?

I'm beginning to believe the critics here who claim you are a severe
alcoholic.




Why do you say that?

When my kids were younger I told them not to use that tone it sounded
rude, they insisted they did not mean to sound rude. Stay with me
here I told them that I did not care, it was my perception that they
sounded rude so as subordinates it was up to them to figure out what
it was they were doing and stop it anyway, until then they would be
grounded when I heard that tone. BTW, did not take them long to
figure it out. Iirc, till about the first friday night dance Pardon
the spelling, I hope you can thrash through on context.

That's it. You're grounded. Now, when you figure it out, you can go out
again.

Oh, and keep off the computer in the meantime.
