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

It says if you can read the sign, you’re in range. It’s an anomaly, after all.

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

For some reason the first time I read it, I thought it was an “L” so now I always call them “Apple mages”

Always wanted to learn, and I have a deck!

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

I might try that, but I’m also pretty certain that I read somewhere in the documentation that it was a deliberate limitation for whatever dumb reason

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a USB C port, that won’t charge unless the other end of the cable is USB A. So no USB C to C cables. Every time I have to charge them I want to report AKG to like, the EU parliament, or something

I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂

Something to look forward to, I suppose

Because it’s dachshund adoption day at the pound?
