One question mark is sufficient

I know what a question mark is. I know what it means. I’ll bet you do, too.

So, then, why do some people insist on using multiple question marks at the end of question sentences???????????????????…? Is this really necessary?

Please. One question mark is sufficient.

    Could be someones way of saying “hey look, I’m stupid, don’t know realize that??????”

    I completely agree. I also hate when people end their sentences with multiple periods… Like they confused about something.. Or maybe their not happy about what you just said….

    @Justin:

    Actually ending a sentence with three periods is most generally used when you’re writing a sentence that leaves off somewhere. It’s normally meant to tell the reader that the following sentence should be looked at as a sort of “extension” of the previous.

    Food fer thought.
