Research is going well. What do researchers, children and this interogerative statement have in common?
@lucifargundam They are inquisitive.
@AmpBenzScientist
How can a statement be inquisitive? I believe interrogations can be, but not statements...iirc interrogative statements are used as tools/tricks to get the subject to surrender information without being directly asked for it.
@lucifargundam A question is by definition, an interogerative statement.
@AmpBenzScientist I must be illiterate because I never knew this to be the case and cannot find a source to this...

@lucifargundam it's not very common to state it like this. A question is a statement much like a ping is a transmission.
@lucifargundam English is a bastard language that is full of pretentious rules.
@AmpBenzScientist they can all be found on earth
