Editing Rhetorical question (section)

==Punctuation==
Depending on the context, a rhetorical question may be punctuated by a question mark (?), full stop (.), or exclamation mark (!),<ref>http://www.whitesmoke.com/punctuation-question-mark.html#rhe Whitesmoke</ref> but some sources argue that it is required to use a question mark for any question, rhetorical or not.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/question.htm|title=The Question Mark|website=grammar.ccc.commnet.edu|access-date=18 March 2018|archive-date=8 September 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060908101340/http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/question.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the 1580s, English printer [[Henry Denham]] invented a "[[rhetorical question mark]]" (⸮) for use at the end of a rhetorical question; however, it fell out of use in the 17th century. It was the reverse of an ordinary question mark, so that instead of the main opening pointing back into the sentence, it opened away from it.<ref>Truss, Lynne.
