"Who gives a ****" is a question, because if it's not then "Who" is a person who actually does give a ****.

Listen poindexter, you don't use a question mark when you aren't actually looking for a response. It's an "interrogation mark", as in, when you want an answer, you use this punctuation.

No. A rhetorical question is still a question. Questions have question marks at the end. This is a fact. You are wrong.





P.S. When you're addressing someone, as in "Listen, pointdexter" you put a comma before the person's name/condescending insult.

No can do, stud. See what I did there? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!

No, it isn't a question unless you're actually asking. Logic bro, use it.

Hey, you're actually right about the punctuation on this one. Congratulations on your moral victory.

Btw, it's "poindexter", since we're getting into the war of corrections.

I actually looked it up and we're both right. I don't care. It's a question. Using a period is ****ing stupid and grammar needs to pull its head out of its ass.

No, I'm right in terms of logic. If you aren't actually asking something, then you literally aren't asking a question. You're making a statement. Seriously, look up "question mark" on google, and tell me what you think.

But again, "who cares", "who gives a ****", etc.



Later.
