I think I would definately spend my time at evening school learning how to use question marks.

or learning to spell “definitely” ?
personally, I’d rather be shagging 🙂

Ar5ed, am I? 😆

Ar5ed, am I?

so question marks are important but not spelling ?

Yes.

Come on children, play nicely!

He started it! 😆

Grammar is universal, a question is a question in any language and requires some mark to identify it.
English as a language has stolen/taken a lot of vocabulary from other languages, it is therfore difficult to form any spelling rules, spellings have changed over the years. Tear, verb or noun? Bow and dough, sound the same or different?
English is not my county’s first language.

HTH:

I actually agree with ds, except that, if he knew it was a question then the mark was redundant 🙂

I was guessing! 😉

tsk tsk SFB you’ve missed a comma.

And you a capital letter… 😆

tsk tsk SFB you’ve missed a comma.

comma where ?

And you a capital letter…

that’s interesting, my feeling is that, after a quotation, I wouldn’t use a capital letter, as the quote itself is the start of the sentence!

Except he hasn’t followed a quotation, in my opinion.

I actually agree with ds, except that, if he knew it was a question[,] then the mark was redundant

I suppose he means hear. 😉

I suppose he means hear.

I disagree, there’s no need for a pause, not as I was thinking it – and the ‘then’ provides conjunction instead.
