RpTheHotrod Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Let's see if anyone can answer this. The period (.) is a very powerful character and can give almost certain closure to something. Only ONE thing can defeat the period. What is it?
Wacky_Baccy Posted April 20, 2002 Posted April 20, 2002 Question mark - or more *cough*precisely*cough*, the squiggly line that turns a period into one (Unless you're being rhetorical ) Hmmm... *Notices something and stores it for future use* Nice idea, BTW - we should have more of these pop quizzes
RpTheHotrod Posted April 20, 2002 Author Posted April 20, 2002 Sorry I meant without changing the character itself EDIT- Was unfair due to me not mentioning changing the character The answer is, another period... (statement doesn't have a solid ending just like the "To be continued..." A period is a period's own enemy
Wacky_Baccy Posted April 20, 2002 Posted April 20, 2002 Ah. I wondered if you might have meant that I also thought of the extra period, but the question mark seemed to make most sense - but only without knowing I couldn't change the character, of course
BCanr2d2 Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 But then nothing beats a period then, because it still ends in a period. I would believe it to be a closing quotation mark, since that ALL punctuation has to occur between the quotation marks, including a period to complete the sentence....... Rp, you even used it there yourself!
