Is it OK to add a question mark to show inflection?

Can we say in a conversation "You went there", and by stressing the statement, mean "Did you go?"

I know one normally asks, "Did you go?". But is the above form also a possibility?

  • Noah, given this site is for linguists, etymologists, and (serious) English language enthusiasts, don't you think it would only be reasonable to write "you" rather than "u"? For than reason alone, I'm voting to close as "not constructive" – FumbleFingers Feb 18 '12 at 01:52
  • @FumbleFingers, since I had to edit to fix "possiblity", I fixed "one", which was misspelled as "u". – James Waldby - jwpat7 Feb 18 '12 at 02:19
  • @jwpat7: Which was very noble of you, I'm sure. But I didn't vote to close your edit. I voted because I don't like the question. I didn't like this one either - but if it suits you, vote to close Noah's as a duplicate of that, because imho it is. Close and delete them both, I say. Also note that Noah neither wrote nor intended "one" - he wrote "u", and meant "you". – FumbleFingers Feb 18 '12 at 02:24

  • @FumbleFingers, one is what he should have meant. :) Anyhow, I took your advice re duplicate. – James Waldby - jwpat7 Feb 18 '12 at 02:40
