There are a couple of sentences that are phrased like a statement but are followed by a question mark. Such as:

I'm really gonna eat it?
I'm gonna?

I've noticed this once or twice in the past and when I removed the question mark, you rephrased it back into a question. So I was wondering if that's what you would like me to do if I ever come across something akin this. Depending on the phrase and context, it could be easily made into a question by tacking 'okay,' 'right' or something similar to that on the end. Kory 21:50, 8 June 2013 (CDT)

It's a matter of tone. In speech, which doesn't need to be 100% grammatically correct, someone can express uncertainty or questioning by raising their pitch at the end of a statement. This would be expressed with a question mark. Adding more words would break the flow and make the statement more unwieldy than it was in the original. Also, I prefer to keep the original punctuation as much as possible. --Zzhk (talk) 00:20, 9 June 2013 (CDT)
