The sentence is a question, even if rhetorical. When “you realize” is added to the sentence, you are turning it into a question, even if it is one you aren’t seeking an answer for. Anyway you look at this sentence, it is asking if they realize something.
You’re probably correct. It’s not said in the manner of question, with a rising tone at the end, so I’d allow a period anyway because it’s informal. When writing a joke, communicating tone is more important than correct punctuation.
Yeah I don’t actually care about grammar, and spelling, in such an informal setting, as long as I can understand what is being said. That being said, the commentary jokes are riffing on the grammar, so…
Devil: “Yes, well, you forgot the comma after ‘actually’ and ‘underground.’ Bloody Yank!”
I think you mean “before” the so. ;-)
Oops, I did. fixed!
Random demon: Both of you fucked up the ending punctuation of the sentence. It should end with a question mark.
No, a period is correct. They’re statements, not questions.
Agreed.
