This is why the internet is amazing. If it wasn't for the forum you would never think anyone could not know how to end a sentence with correct punctuation.

Trust me, I've seen posts where not a SINGLE full stop/exclamation/question mark was used. I felt like bashing and flaming that poster, but then i just thought it's not worth it, and ignored that n00b.

Yes, I know. That's not the point. It's people who otherwise seem functional and yet make such an error that make Dusan's neck hair stand up straight.

But I wonder if this is some kind of failing in English language teaching in general that people are so careless about their own language. It has to be at least 20-40% of all Brits write "would of" and don't even know it's incorrect. If you don't know that spoken language doesn't equal written language word for word then you need to go back to school.

    End of a sentence?.

    The question mark takes the place of a period when ending a sentence, for example, would you do this: "DID JUVE WIN!?."

    No, because you would be on a Geico commercial.
