question

A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.

    Syphon size question

    We’ve recently moved house and the downstairs toilet flush has packed up. I think the syphon looks too big for the cistern with the linkages to the handle all bodged with various bits of wire to make it work. Is there a way I can check the size of syphon that’s correct for the cistern?

    How many BTUs to I need? (Yes, that question again.)

    I'm thinking of replacing an exiting radiator (see photo) with something a bit more exciting. A bit of Googling suggests the existing one is rated at about 5600 BTUs.
