Title: If it's a statement don't use a question mark? Post by: bitcoinminer on November 19, 2013, 03:37:49 PM Correct.
If you are making a statement, you do not need the title to have a question mark? Some examples: Transactions taking a long time? <--- statement put as a question Transactions are taking a long time <-- statement put as a statement My crazy theory? <--- Not a question THIS is my crazy theory <-- fixed The Chinese warlord Lao Tzu invented bitcoin? <--- this is a question asking for clarification. The answer is no. DID The Chinese warlord Lao Tzu invent bitcoin? <--- This is asking a question with a hypothesis in mind. The Chinese warlord Lao Tzu invented bitcoin <-- This is a statement of your theory I ignored the first 15 or so topics with this kind of title until my eyes just got too angry. The world is flat?

Statements are in the form of questions? Are questions in the form of statements. Title: Re: If it's a statement don't use a question mark?

Are you not ashame.
You, guys, think long and hard about the above while I cook dinner! Title: Re: If it's a statement don't use a question mark? Post by: bitcoinminer on November 20, 2013, 01:20:32 AM The world is flat? Um, who the fuck are you? [/quote] Bitcoinminer? In Bizarro World, we list all statements as questions? If you want to ask a question it should seem like you're not sure if that's what you're doing? "Um, who the fuck are you." is the correct way? Title: Re: If it's a statement don't use a question mark? Post by: bitcoinminer on November 20, 2013, 01:21:15 AM What about rhetorical questions? Rhetorical questions you should still sound unsure of yourself? Title: Re: If it's a statement don't use a question mark?

Are you not ashame. You, guys, think long and hard about the above while I cook dinner! What should we do about the exclamation point! We'll think about it while you cook dinner?

Posting threads as questions is not offtopic though? This is strange? Title: Re: If it's a statement don't use a question mark?

Post by: Foxpup on November 20, 2013, 12:15:58 PM My crazy theory? <--- Not a question Actually, it is three questions:My crazy theory? Or is it someone else's crazy theory that the minddrones implanted into my brain? My crazy theory? Answer is almost always "Yes, your theory is crazy", except where the question is asked ironically. My crazy theory? No, the correct term is hypothesis. So what he really wants to know is, "Are the minddrones implanting theories or hypotheses into my brain and are they crazy?" Though when you put it like that, the question sort of answers itself. |
