    There was nothing wrong with the sentence of mine you highlighted. I was lucky enough to grow up in rural Ireland surrounded by a rich and varied colloquial language and have a choice now between Hiberno English and a more stricter style - as a lot of Irish people do.

    So parse my sentence according to the Irish language and you'll be okay.

    Leaving out basic things like question marks when you pose a question isn't Hiberno-English. It isn't any kind of correct English.
    Though obviously the rule forbidding one from ending a sentence with a preposition in English is one of the stricter and 'pickier' rules.
    I don't care either way, i was just pointing out the inconsistencies in your argument. :P

    Long live vernacular :D

    Dude with rhetorical questions using a question mark is a matter of choice.
