Have you ever wondered who invented the question mark? (1)T question mark began to (2) t shape in the days of Ancient Rome (3)o 2000 years ago. The (4)R spoke a language (5)c Latin. In Latin whenever (6)p wrote a question they (7)e the sentence with the word questio . (8)T let the reader(9)k that the sentence was a (10)q . But it(11)t too long to write question after (12)e question. Many people, therefore, (13) s it to just qo . This saved (14) t but unfortunately it also (15)c problems. The reason for this (16)w that the Romans wrote all (17)t words together without leaving (18) a spaces between them. Qo could look (19)l the end of (20)a word. So people began to (21)w qo like this q . Over a long (22) p of time the o became (23)j a dot and the q just (24)l a squiggle---our question (25)m .
