[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1451214"] But technically, there should only be three. The second two questions are grammatically incorrect, and generally frowned upon in written word. Speaking aloud a sentence fragment like the last question is usually acceptable, though, so I see where you may've gotten confused. Here, let me show you: See, it makes sense like this. Sentences are stand-alone operators, though, and if you removed a sentence from it's paragraph, one should still be able to understand what the sentence is about (you know, subjects and predicates, all that jazz). So, you tell me. Pretend you haven't read anything other than this sentence: No one would know what you were talking about if you posted that as a stand-alone, Ash, but here, here's the fix. You just change the third question mark in your post to a comma, and make the immediately following 'O' in 'Or' lowercase and switch 'are' with the word 'whether' and I'm pretty sure you can still get a good grade on this assignment.
