why is it needed, should we not know by context what is a question, is it not excessive.

i thought this thread was an order.

True, very true. I suppose for retards it gives them a last chance to catch a clue in their peripheral vision and raise their vocal inflection before the sentence is up?

See what I did there?

And yet again once more...?

It helps out those stupid actors who have to read dialogue...

Tony: "You got that number"

Joey: "I do"

Tony: "What"

Joey: "What"

Tony: "Got that number"

Joey: "You do"

Tony: "Yeah"

Joey: "That's a question"

Tony: "You think"

Joey: "I should know"

Tony: "Wiseguy"

Joey: "You think"

-- every single bit of dialogue was a question.

why don't people on the internet use question marks to denote interrogative statements anymore.

And what's the deal with people always saying 'Hello?' like it's a question but people never say 'Goodbye?' like it's a question am I right? Is thing on?

Is thing on?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:06 (twenty years ago)

i don't even like asking questions. am much more comfortable making lofty proclamations.

― stelf)xxxx, Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

alan wins.

― N_RQ, Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

wtf??????//////

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

actually they are great. if we are talking superfluous marks, how about bloody colons. give me a good dash anyday. the only place that confuses using a dash instead of a colon is in the title of the film M: I-2. dashes v hyphens FITE

― Britain's Jauntiest Shepherd (Alan), Thursday, 18 August 2005 11:20 (twenty years ago)

it's far too early to be considering bloody colons.

I was hoping this was going to be "Ask any question, our team of Sinker, Grout, Casarotto and Hester will provide answers"

Now, there's a university challenge: The Professionals' type team...

Who created the world's stickiest bogey?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:20 (twenty years ago)

what about languages where a question is preceded by a question mark? that's pretty sweet. you know ahead of time how to place your inflection.

― AaronK (AaronK), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

See me, see chips, I love chips, me.

"Who created the world's stickiest bogey?"

Rik, Britain!

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:41 (twenty years ago)

no, that was the worlds stupidest bottom burp wasn't it?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:42 (twenty years ago)

Damn, you're right.... it was Toxteth O'Grady (USA), wasn't it?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 18 August 2005 12:44 (twenty years ago)

He was also winner of the coveted "who can stuff the most marshmallows up one nostril" title, if I'm not very much mistaken.
