Is that last sentence a question?

Is that last sentence a question?

It’s not a sentence. It’s a word making a statement that presumes a question. Go ahead and look it up.

Maybe @crandc could explain it better.

He’s asking why I put a question mark after “Wait” in the comment above.

Some statements add inflection with different punctuation. In that instance I was writing it to sound like a question if I was speaking it.

Could be shorthand for "can you wait?" That would be my interpretation.

It's a sentence. Is it a question?

My interpretation was he was directing someone or himself to wait while he thought it over himself.

Okay. Read it that way. I’m fine with that.

Well, it's a sentence fragment, but I thought it was conveying a thought. I guess it wasn't.

Now teach me the difference between verbs and adverbs, guys.

 

[wizenheimer]

just as long as none of you dangle a participle....that's gross

 

[kjironman1]

My post thinks? Wait ....

That works also. And yes you conveyed the thought pretty well.

I was just joking around the whole time. I thought you'd know that because I liked your first post.

Then I went back and realized I hadn't clicked the like ....

Do Does Did, verb without s.

Honestly I'm joking about 90% of the time on here. Yes there are times I get in serious conversations but less so now that the team isn't really that serious.
One thing for certain is the art of communication through the written word is tough these days. Too many just proofread and miss little nuances that are in the statement.
You seem to be one that I need to read your entire post because there is usually a nugget in there that makes the phrase or comment worth reading.

Thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier.
