I, too, want to know what that strap is called… For a friend

I thought I read that grapefruit can also cause problems with certain ones

Why not?

That’s rash city, Jake, rash city!

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What’s your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film

Good luck getting consistent cuts while you’re freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home

Is that the guy that wrote Blindsight? Strange read

A new browser touches the beacon

Unbelievably AWESOME

Honestly, same. I want to play it so bad, but never liked turn based stuff

Always wanted to learn, and I have a deck!

I learned recently that there’s a word for this, which is “thought-terminating cliche”

Never heard of that! Thanks for the tip. Gonna try it

Morrowind is one of my favorites of all time. I was into nag champa incense at the time, and so that smell will always remind me of Morrowind. Singing about the ambiance of Morrowind was kinda incense-y anyway, so it was the perfect combo

Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them

Exactly. I hate when things say FREE!* (*With Ads), because you ARE paying for it. With your PRECIOUS TIME
