A rhetorical Question

[RonJeremy 10]

You didn't put a capital letter on your Yes. Also two sets of quotation marks. You need only one.

 

You're not very smart, are you?

D'oh. That was just a troll, wasn't it? Why do I fall for it every time?

It's hard to tell online. And yes I am tetchy today, very! Well spotted.

[RootsBooster 24]

You didn't put a full stop after your " 'yes' ".

 

I never said you should?

My co-workers are always wonderful.

[The Joker 10]

why? haha.. how old did you think I was?

 

I thought you'd be in your twenties since you have a positive and youthful outlook on life that is a pleasure to read.

 

Then again. . . I secretly hoped you'd be a pseudonym of French footy hero Michelle Platini, who helped his nation win the European football championship in 198...4 (close enough)

Good try but the 82 doesn't represent my birth year! 82 was the age of my nan when I first joined in 2012

 

and I agree with what you say in regards to that awful 'up speak'!

 

 

36 then?

Do they really sell blue cars in ASDA?

I'm not keen when people use rhetorical questions whilst presenting. I understand that they're trying to guide their listeners thought processes but think it sounds really unprofessional.

I just don't like presentations. Or any corporate bulls#@$. It pays me well but my God is it banal, can these people really not hear themselves? That was rhetorical...

Back on topic: maybe a better question/point is the placing of a '?' at the end of an indirect question; perhaps that what was meant.

Examples (both correct):

1. "Is this a rhetorical question?"

But

2. "I asked whether this is a rhetorical question."
