... 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. 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? |

Why do you say that?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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 theysounded 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 Pardonthe spelling, I hope you can thrash through on context. |
