otp , 1 month ago It's actually pretty common to change a sentence into a question with rising intonation in speech, which is pretty much just adding a question mark. "Fries." is a statement of what something is or what someone wants. "Fries?" is asking if someone wants fries. "I said that." is a statement about something someone said. "I said that?" is a question about whether they said something. Of course, we could add emphasis to any of those three words and end up with 3 different questions. "I said that?" ... No, I guess it was your partner, not you. "I said that?" ... Well, you sure IMPLIED it! "I said that?" ... Yes, verbatim. It's even in the video from last night. All from changing a "." to a "?" in the sentence "I said that.".
