I've heard that running uncooked rice through is an easy way to clean them. Never tried it though

Maybe they should try using honey

Nice. What about if you back out to the main feed and then decide to go back to the comments later? This is where all other clients fail in my experience

Does it save your position in the comments of a specific post? That's my #1 criterion for an app. Boost is the only one that I've found that does it

Is Boost dead though? I love it too, but it hasn't updated in a while

Do you really blame them?

The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.

The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.

Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.

I'm totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What's your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, "who is your daddy?" Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise
