Call me a "grammar nazi", but what's so hard about using a question mark when asking a question? Sometimes I read things online and it's annoying to see a period after a question being asked. Didn't we learn this in kindergarten?

If you are asking a question you should use a question mark but unfortunately many people are rather ignorant. They have no regard for grammar or punctuation. Good on you if you are interested in the intricacies of the English language.

Huh????? Just kidding! I too am shocked at the poor grammar that alot of people display online. Don't they know there is a free spellcheck on here? Woe be to those with bad grammar when they try to find a job!

Sometimes the question mark annoys me, if that makes any sense. I feel guilty when I use a period instead, though.

Some are to sorry, the same reason there are so many misspelled words on here, when you have spell check right in front of you. What gives?

I would be happy to see ANY punctuation or capitalization at all! I've seen paragraphs here that don't have either! How can anyone read that? I can't believe anyone can be that lazy.

Because people can not write, spell, or punctuate properly. Ninety percent of adults write at about a fifth grade level. It's pathetic.
