    Either the whole thing is a question or you need to break it up.

    I’m curious if you can convince me otherwise though!

      It’s not about making it a question, is about showing doubt.

      “Jake should’ve been there last night (?), but I doesn’t have time to check.”

      Sure there are ways to phrase that differently, but it’s the sort of message we can easily communicate with hand gestures and intonation, but fail with written word.

      “Maybe we can meetup tomorrow? And I’d love to know what you want to do.”

      Can be split up into two sentences but sometimes, when spoken, is said as a continuous sentence.
