From the Who_wants_to_be_a_millionaire? article:

Both versions [of the show] omit the question mark from their official titles due to a superstition about question marks in film and TV productions.

Anyone know anything about this? --68.198.144.239 03:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)


In US English it is also called a query.

I've never heard the question mark called a query, and I've lived in the US my whole life. Tuf-Kat 23:56, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)

Inverted Question Mark

Considering Inverted Question redirects here... would anyone be able to add more information on it? If not how it developed and caught on, at least what the other “some languages” are in addition to Spanish.

Galician also uses inverted question marks. I'm adding it now. --Pinzo 00:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Variations in foreign languages and in history

The article says the question mark is used in Chinese and Korean. Shouldn't Japanese also be on the list? PeepP 14:56, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

The image of the inverted question mark, is merely mirrored horizontally, but it actually also should be mirrored vertically; it's incorrect the way it is --Allycat 20:56, 8 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

It's still incorrect. 4 November 2005 (132.79.14.15)
