Arrrr, I'm here t' make replicas o' all yer punctuation!
Avast, wher' be th' interrobang!?
Seriously though, while this post is cute, let's remember not everyone speaks English as a first language, and while many languages do use the English Alphabet, many do not and so there are still quite a few people unfamiliar with the proper English punctuation.
My (non-english) native language uses the question mark, but many don't use it out of lazyness. I don't think this is a local issue. Also, are there really that many languages that do not use a question mark? I would have thought that is the rarity.
Besides, most english content I read on lemmy are not nearly that bad to justify that.
Fun fact: In Greek the question mark is ";".
¿Whaaat?
¿Eres tu, Ramón?
