With a bang (!), …, and eventually a full stop? Likely accompanied by some choice quotes?

Call me a traditionalist but I don’t think you can turn a statement into a question just by adding a question mark at the end, AQI notwithstanding?

Ok you’re a traditionalist, which tradition do you traditionally tradition to?

Are you implying what I said was a statement? Did I give the impression I knew the effects of punctuation falling off a lorry, rather than something more speculative?

Would a counterexample be to post what’s obviously a question, but without a question mark at the end? (But who’d have the courage?)

Did you feel that my comment about statements with question marks applied to you?

Isn’t “tradition” a rather monolithic concept when it comes to grammar and punctuation?

Wasn’t that comment a reply to my earlier question, according to the board? Was that a mistake or a hallucination on my part?

Should that be “a hallucination” or “an hallucination”?

If I replied to your comment with a statement that didn’t apply to you, wouldn’t I merely be seeking corroboration?

What is with unnecessary “an”? Since when does an “h” count as a vowel?

Wouldn’t that mean we’d have to Donald you for a statement instead of a question?

That can sort of depend on the speaker’s accent, can’t it? Like how you pronounce words like “hour”?

Doesn’t “an hour” make sense but “an hill” sound silly to you?

As a saaarf landaner, should I be offended?

More to the point, isn’t it weird when a newsreader speaking immaculate RP puts an “n” in front of the perfectly voiced “h” in “hill”?

[I may have deleted that for being more snarky than intended, though wouldn’t the `stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye` emoji at the end have helped?]

Is it wise to mention that when I started this, I was chanelling​ somewhere between Only Fools and Horses’ and The Sweeney?

Wouldn’t someone give me a kicking if I used emoji when defending the honour of saaarf landan?
