The wording is what makes it a statement. ‘I was wondering why...’ leads the the person being spoken to into a conversation about why. Your statement was not about inquiring why, it was about dismissing their view. You weren’t trying to question, you were trying to dictate.

  • Still waiting on that rule. Oh wait, you cant find one. What a surprise. Once again, nothing but opinion.

  • That doesnt really apply to what i said, seeing as i had "i dont understand", basically the opposite of knowing something and so the opposite of the question you presented. Did you just throw in some nonsense hoping i wouldnt actually read it and just take it as proof?

  • It absolutely does. You’re just too dim-W-I-T-t-e-d to understand. You didn’t have “I don’t understand”. Those are direct quotes, using them means it is verbatim. You said ‘I just don’t see why...’ and ‘Not sure why...’ In the context used, neither is an indirect question asking for explanation, they are statements.

  • That is just a difference in use of words, but they mean the same thing. Saying i am not sure why, and i dont understand why, are basically the same thing, they mean the same thing at the very least. Both clearly demonstrate that there is something that someone is either unsure about or does not know.

  • Funny, i gave a pretty good list, at least from a grammatical stand point. There really isnt any written rules about opinions though.
