Is that the shortest question you've ever asked?

Wouldn't, "I?", or if you wanted to be grammatically correct, "Am I?" be the shortest possible question?

(to me this would be the shortest, yet ungrammatical, question)

Why are you all so interested in brevity rather than in letting your questions run to their natural lengths?

Isn't asking a bunch of ecclectic/nerdy/shut-in people why they do strange things rhetorical?

If you'd been watching the recent conventions you'd think so wouldn't you?

Aren't you afraid he might become a write-off?

Why would that necessarily be something to be afraid of?

If your ship won't right, you should write your wright and assert your right to have him wright it right, right?

Is it possible for there to be a right without a left?

Isn't there a right to vote without being left out?*

*Dang! I almost forgot about Republicans' attempts to suppress votes in the coming elections.

If people were never left out of the vote, what would be the point in granting them that right?

Where do you get the idea that anybody grants rights?
