Question mark: ?
The question mark is a
punctuation mark that indicates that the written sentence is in the form of a
query. Its contemporary use as journalistic shorthand, or an attempt to express
a matter in different terms has rapidly reached the status of a cliché. Whilst
it's occasionally acceptable to talk about a 'question mark hanging over a
decision' or something similar, the constant use of 'question mark' in place of
a simple question is becoming increasingly irritating, don't you think?
