Ending a sentence with two punctuation mark
Hi,
I recently came across this sentence ("It intends to help answering the
question I have a few hours for Debian, what should I do now?.") on
UDD's maintainers dashboard[1] page. I tried to propose a change[2] by
removing period punctuation mark. I've never seen people, in English
writing ending a sentence with two punctuation mark (a period and
question mark); to support my statement, I would refer to this[3]
article of APA[4] style guide, hopefully other English writing style
guides have similar rule. For more information, please see this[2]
discussion.
