I’ve seen a number of posts lately like “How to get yadda yadda yadda” but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks.
If you’re posting a question, please make it look like a question. It’s EASY… Just put a QUESTION MARK at the end of your subject line. It looks like this:

We’re pirates here, not fucking savages.
It’s actually pretty common to change a sentence into a question with rising intonation in speech, which is pretty much just adding a question mark.
“Fries.” is a statement of what something is or what someone wants. “Fries?” is asking if someone wants fries.
“I said that.” is a statement about something someone said. “I said that?” is a question about whether they said something.
Of course, we could add emphasis to any of those three words and end up with 3 different questions.
“I said that?” … No, I guess it was your partner, not you.
“I said that?” … Well, you sure IMPLIED it!
“I said that?” … Yes, verbatim. It’s even in the video from last night.
All from changing a “.” to a “?” in the sentence “I said that.”.
