Um, I really don't like question marks at the end of statements?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The worst is when people think any sentence beginning with "I wonder" is a question. It's not. It's a statement that you do, in fact, wonder.


(SPOILER)I always feel like Brian Carper when I make a post like that. It's a little uncomfortable.

I thought turning all your statements into questions was really just insecurity that people wont accept your statements as true?

Now your telling me its because Im snotty or pretentious?

You're turning into a old, grumpy pedant.

So I guess the only change is you're growing older.

The point of question marks is to ask questions? It would not make much sense if it wasn't, and that would be quite confusing?

XD This is stupid?

It can be both. Either you're unsure of your statement, or you're just being ostentatious.
Right?

I just add "yeah?" to the end of every statement so I don't sound weird, yeah? The butchering of the English language in this thread is quite saddening, yeah? It has feelings too, yeah? *punches self in face, yeah?*

[Levian]

I think exclamation points at the end of questions are worse. Do you think so too!!!!!

[Meat Puppet]

i like to end everything with an interrobang

[Timekeeper]

You what!?

It's just not the same

[Dignified Pauper]

They come off as snotty?

What do you think about them.?

Fix'd.

I use question marked statements in normal speech because I'm very sarcastic.

Sometimes they are necessary when you are asking a question.

Otherwise, yes, there is a sort of situation where they can be pretty pretentious but that's relatively rare

Never saw it like that I think?

To me it shows uncertainty when you use a question mark after a statement.

[squiike]

Agree! I hate this "0 Hypothesis" or what you call them.

When you do a project and "Is it true that training makes you stronger?" or "Training doesn't make you stronger" And then write the project based on the statement.

Yeah, having a question mark after a statements makes me think that the statement is considered somewhat doubtful by the speaker. I also imagine it's said in AQI (Australian Question Intonation). Sometimes it can annoy me, especially when the statement is clearly something that shouldn't be doubted or when it's used excessively, but I've gotten used to it a bit now. I'm sure I do it myself sometimes. Things that are questions and aren't followed by a question mark annoy me more.
