Ah ok, I think that’s actually a different one. This is the one I’m thinking of:

It might be the same one in the original Sim City. Definitely seared into my brain, and I hear it in shows, too

Do not run. Do not run.

What does Consumer Electronics Control have to do with this

Yeah, that makes sense. It doesn’t just automatically become their money, just because they took your car. This seems like a totally logical way to handle it, so I’m not surprised that it’s the opposite of the way things usually work

Do you really blame them?

One of my favorite Simpsons lines, the load hearing poster

Why not?

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What’s your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film

I guess Reading is not his strong suit

Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them

Exactly. I hate when things say FREE!* (*With Ads), because you ARE paying for it. With your PRECIOUS TIME

I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂

Something to look forward to, I suppose

Can we call such police “Starmtroopers”?
