The following question was presented:
An educational question, how dare he I hear you say. At the end of the last vote analysis I ended with a rhetorical question. Put a question mark at the end of it, deleted it for a period, then changed the period back to a question mark. I wasn't really sure how to punctuate it. How should a rhetorical question be punctuated?
Results:
Question mark was the clear winner with 100% of the votes selected from the following:
- Question mark (100%)
- Period (0%)
- Exclamation mark (0%)
- Hash (0%)

Analysis:
Doesn't look like anyone voted, so I'm assuming you don't know. It's apparently up to the writer how they want to punctuate a rhetorical question. Normally it is done with either a period, question mark or exclamation mark.
