Question marks

[Libido2286]

Pardon me, I hope I'm not being annoying, but I just had to point out something.

People use question marks in entirely the wrong situation and it bothers me like you wouldn't believe. So I thought I'd give some advice.

A question mark is ONLY used when one is asking a question. If one is stating something about which one is unsure, that is a statement therefore requires a period, not a question mark.

For example, one would say, "I think that makes me horny" NOT "I think that makes me horny?" because since you are feeling horny it's a statement, and not a question. Unless you aren't sure that you're feeling horny and then you'd like us to tell you, which is silly -- you'd know that yourself!

I know a lot of people get annoyed when others point out spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. errors, but if we're writers, then these are important parts of writing. Those three items may seem insignificant, but they've last several hundred years, in some cases, because the're important indicators in language.

So, just hope I haven't offended anyone.

See?

I knew this was going to happen. Always safer to remain a lurker than to say anything.

I thought my grammar was better than that.

Grammatical errors

Seriously, I'm interested in seeing what I missed. I always want to continue improving my grammar.
After each period or other sentence delineator I use two spaces, which I heard isn't used anymore but that's the way I was taught to type.
A business letter has white spaces between paragraphs and no indentation, a personal letter has no white space and a five-space indent. That's what I learned in my typewriting class in high school. Since that was in 1986 it may have changed since then. I know that this isn't exactly a business letter but I felt more comfortable with that format.
