Ignoring the irony of that dangling preposition yeah, if you look around yahoo answers a bit, you'll see that it's primarily kids asking for help with their homework. It's becoming a *major* pet peeve to end a phrase with a question mark. I see a lot of questions with subject like this: "If someone went to the moon?" "Solve the equation?" It just urks me for some reason, like an itch I can't scratch. I guess that's the definition of a pet peeve.

I also have to admit that I've started reading the questions in the voice of the forest creatures from the South Park Christmas episode, particularly the bear that's always sad: "but, we have to have to have a star for our Christmas tree!" It makes reading yahoo answers so much fun!
