My wife recently wrote an e-mail to a friend and put ... (dot dot dot) at the end of a sentence.

The friend warned her that this was now seen as "passive aggressive".

No - it makes absolutely no sense to me either.

It?s especially lovely that the email list software ?helpfully? replaces things like smart quotes, curly apostrophes and ellipses with question marks? (It should really butcher that sentence?)

So Chris, it might not be that we put question marks after statements, but that we put ?dot dot dot? at the end of the statement, like this?
