Another example is "Hey, how are you?" when people say this in passing without even waiting for a response or really thinking about the individual it becomes like a rhetorical question.
Do you really believe that I would stoop in my writing to use a rhetorical question?
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there. I never really stopped to think about the "Hey, how are you?" but it is so true.

ReplyDeleteI read this this morning and that last statement is so true. I think its funny, because I never know if I should answer them or not because they are already far away from me. So, way to notice it is a rhetorical question!
ReplyDeleteJake, what? I like rhetorical questions. Do you believe that quote, Troy? Rhetorical questions are great! They make you think!! I'd never considered how are you a rhetorical question. Usually I think of them as deeper and meaningful.
