I Was There

Welsh comedian Max Boyce was famous for the phrase ‘I Know 'Cos I Was There’. Which brings me to the subject of asking questions.

I notice that in conversation, the question-asker will often take time to explain their question to make sure that the thinker understands it.  This can make questions grammatically correct, yes. And also very long! If, like the best questions, yours comes from what you hear or see or sense, then a few words will be enough to provoke more thinking.  Use too many words, and the question loses its impact.  They’ll understand. After all they were there! (And if they don’t understand, they can ask you!)
