It certainly looks strange, but after all it is a strange, alien language, right ? hehehe Anyway, because I respect yours and SuStel's opinion on this matter, and because I always accept the advice of experts, from now on I will be using question marks too ! qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta' On 31 Dec 2016 4:30 pm, "Lieven" <levinius@gmx.de> wrote:

Some time ago I decided to stop using question marks, because I decided that they are unnecessary.
Why did you decide that. Don't you think it looks strange. Would it look strange in English.
On the other hand, I believe that other punctuation marks are definitely
necessary.
Not really It's the same in English When you write one line per phrase it's clear the sentence is over If you have longer phrases that are longer than one line and may jump into the following line you can just leave a space to mark a ne phrase like I am doing now
This is the next phrase
So saying that punctuation is necessary contradicts your saying that the qustion mark is not :-)
I agree that it is visible from the sentence that it'S a question, but it still helps the reading fluency when question marks are used. That's actually what they been invented for. I can read your messages, but it's still strange to read.
