Do you know why I hate questions ending with a period. Why is the gunner update not ready. After the gunner update, will Nick return to Spiral Knights.

Do you hate when people talk like this.

Did you know.

Grammar died when some maggots thought that it was funny to write as if they couldn't spell things correctly.

A question made in the forum of a statement is a mom thing. It is meant to communicate stupidity. And if you talk back, your disrespectful butt will be in so much trouble you will begin to understand the period.

Not all questions get the "?".

"When a question constitutes a polite request, it is usually not followed by a question mark. This becomes more true as the request becomes longer and more complex:
Would everyone in the room who hasn't received an ID card please move to the front of the line."

This is only annoying when it's in text form and paired with other bad grammar. By itself, or just spoken without inflection at the end of a sentence, it's fine. (for me.)

On a completely unrelated note, I hate it when people create threads with a name that leaves nothing to be discussed and expects people to respond to it. Especially threads about themselves.

Only half expect replies. Sometimes I do or don't expect replies, depending how I feel.

-

If there's questions that are written with a . than a ?, I'd just randomly change it to ! so then I can see if people do or don't bother. Because with !, it's sounds like the sentence is anger-crazed when spoken.

What's worse?

"Did you know the muffin man."

or

"Did you know the muffin man!"

Option C is the worst

"Did you know the muffin man"
