Something Missing

why

This word is a pathetic heap of letters without a question mark. Right now, it means nothing. Zip. Zilch. Diddly Squat, and its all because the half-a-squiggly with a dot under it is not trailing it. Now, what is this teaching us?

Some might say that it teaches us that good grammer and proper construction of words and punctuation is actually important, but I'm here to tell you it's not important because all of you understood me there when I said "grammer" even though it's spelled "grammar".

Are you kidding me?! Grammar is for Elementary and Middle School students cause they're all too young and immature to handle stuff that doesn't have order and direction.

e.e. Cummings was one of the best poets around and he didn't even capitalize the "e's" in his own name let alone any of the words in his poems.

So why in the heck does this word: "why" : need to have a question mark on it in order to amount to anything worth-while in the world of language?

The individual is nothing. The single mind is nil. Because without the "?", without the influence of others, or, in other words, without thieving ideas from other people, we are nothing but a meaningless pile of figures. We are not but a question word without a question mark.
