I don't know... does this sound like a rhetorical question to you? (?)
Although this was the winner, it just doesn't define rhetorical for me. The question mark itself seems to me to be asking for a response. I assume that a true rhetorical question doesn't want an answer.
I use that when I'm emphasizing a question.¿ how about that?
Does that mean you're asking your rhetorical question in Spanish?¿ how about that?
That was my first thought (took me back to 10th grade Spanish class). What's wrong with the ?]--I couldn't find an emoticon, mind you, the teleconference during which I did that search only last 15 minutes. Maybe s/one else has more time than I did today to search for a cutesy emoticon ?].Does that mean you're asking your rhetorical question in Spanish?
