... 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 ![]() 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 ![]() the spelling, I hope you can thrash through on context. |
