The "?" symbol is placed at the end of a question, it does NOT replace the word "question".

[notfred]

For example, if you have a question about a Honda Accord you might type something like "Honda Accord Question." in a thread title. This does NOT have the same meaning as "Honda Accord ?" which is exceptionally vague, and really makes no sense to anyone but you.

If you were to start a thread entitled "Quick Atkins Question" people would know that you are about to ask a simple question regarding some facet of the Atkins diet. When you start a thread titled "Quick Atkins ?" you make people think that you've heard of some form of ultra-fast Atkins type weight loss program, and are trying to confirm whether or not it exists or works.

I have a ? to ask you notfred.

 

[new2AMD]

I didnt have a problem reading it but if you say so......

 

[dxkj]

take THAT gobadgrs?

err, anyway... would this work?


I have a "?"

I have a '?'


Quick Atkins ? I have..




I guess the problem here is noticing the space between the end of the sentence and the question-mark.


Quick Atkins?
vs
Quick Atkins ?

 

is there anything you dont bitch about?

That's right, grammar is our friend.

That's not as bad as people that put a question mark at the end of a statement. TONS of people do this - you can almost pick out an instance of it in every thread.

But some of the writing I see, everywhere from these forums to < ahem > respected news papers is enough to make me anti-semantic. :disgust: ?????

But your sentence doesn't. It is definitely incorrect to use alot for the words, a lot.

Wow, I never knew people found that annoying?

Can I use "So, I axe you about Honda Accords" ?

 

[EyeMWing]

Word up, dawgz?

 

[stev0]

i have always loved the fact that notfred will add the little bit of extra effort to go and make a new thread and make fun of someone instead of doing it in their origional thread.

Uh oh - it looks like we found someone that screws up his question marks regularly.

I think it's time for someone to take a nap?

"a lot" is a measure of land or a discription of land. Many would be a much better choice.
