  • [quote]Maybe you found out Harvey didn't do what you were expecting him to?[/quote] Did you know that replacing that question mark with a period makes more sense and is grammatically correct? Did you know that starting a simple sentence with words like maybe almost always eliminate the possibility of the sentence being interrogative?

  • Did you know that this is what you believe to be a small minority of sentences where you can start questions with "maybe" and it is grammatical? Do you know the difference between grammatical and standard?

  • Did you know your last sentence wasn't a question?

  • Aren't I asking HIM a question? Aren't I asking if maybe he found out Harvey failed, not providing him with a statement about what happen as I have no way of knowing what he knows?

    Instead of making a statement, why didn't you ask him if he knew?

  • Are you failing to read? Didn't I just say I DIDN'T ask a statement, as I had no idea of knowing what he knows, so I asked what I thought in the form of a question to him? Would you like to have fun in this forum instead of being stupid and failing to comprehend simple English rules?
