Would it make anyone else feel better about flying if they didn't call an airport a terminal?

I dont know, do we have to ask a different one each time or can we just keep asking the same ones?
Don't you think the thread would be more interesting if the questions were different?

Would this thread still be this thread if the questions were different?

How long do you think we can sustain a conversation with nothing but questions?
LOL not very long! I know from personal experience. I am a counselor and I have tried several times to go through a session without asking one question. LOL

Lets practice stopping this conversation.

Cos Im finding it annoying people are now answering all my questions with a question and I find myself answering back with another question just to annoy them for being so nosy.

eg How are you? Im fine how are you?
Hows work? Its fine Hows your work?
Where are you from? Im from xxx where are you from?
Why are you single. I dont know why are you single?

So you would agree with this thread meandering into forlorn obscurity deprived of inquisition? I am inclined to digress but feedback on continuation is requested as a closing question/

Yes.
I used to help with homework questions on a site called Any Questions. Can you imagine how long a chat session would be if I kept asking questions of the people asking questions as well.

People would login in and be waiting forever.

But I made sure it was to the point. if they asked me if I had a boyfriend I would answer. That doesnt sound like a homework question. I suppose I could have asked them back did they have a boyfriend?

my farewell would be, I hope that was helpful.
Goodbye and come again soon.

Nobody really wants to ask questions anyway. They just want to chat and muck around on the computer.

Why can't you make a statement as a question?
Can't you see how easy this is?

(Translation:
You can make a statement as a question.
It's easy.)

Have you ever heard how Galveston people talk? Have they elevated this to an art form or what?

I’m from Galveston, and in Galveston, like most places, “all the time” means somewhat often😊.

Everything in the Republic of Galveston Island is an art form😁.

How could you miss the point that I was demonstrating how to turn your statements into questions?

haha.
At my school we have each term an inquiry topic.
This terms topic is learning how to learn.

Im thinking its by asking heaps of questions? Maybe I should wear a button saying 'ask me' I know everything. (actully I dont, but I know where to find all the books). But teachers are now saying 'ask google' instead.

However nobody actually types questions into google, you just type in words.

I am trying to teach children that whenever they ask for something, they ought to say please, and when they receive it, they ought to say thank you.

Othewise I get many demands like 'can I have a paper?' Can I help? Can I go in your office? If they dont say please. The answer will be NO.

Because your sentences started off with the word “Have”.

When turning a statement into a question I would have said “They have” instead of “Have they”?

Starting with “Have” is a question turning into a question😁.

Im a bit surprised nobody's asked the BIG question on here.
You know, when people go 'have you popped the question?'

What question?? I've never been asked. (seriously)

Just a heads up. The answer is NO.

In my job, I do get to ask questions. I asked the children who wants to be dumb? I looked around, nobody put up their hands. I then asked who wants to be smart? some (but not all) raised their hands. I then asked them why we read? They must be thinking Im a bit stupid asking them instead of just telling them the answers. But I want to know what they think. Really.
