a question mark doesn't have to end a sentence. such a question mark is often used to separate a succession of questions that all elaborate one idea. it used to be more common, but i know as recently as 1991 ursula le guin used it in the story "Texts", ("Whatever those eleven years had been, the length of a marriage? a child's life? they were gone"...) most of those marks only have any cause to exist at all because people are so stuffy about punctuation, unless you wrote "The Dispossessed." |
