I wasn't going to say anything, but yes...Dusty is correct here. Many "questions", unless they are direct questions, or statements of a interrogatory nature, do not require question marks!
Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I went to secretarial school, we were taught when writing business letters that certain questions should not end with a question mark.
"Will you please remit your overdue payment as soon as possible" sounds like a question, but isn't really, lol.

Exactly! That is considered a polite request, therefore, it requires no quotation marks.

It's an old-fashioned spelling, as in the well-quoted William Blake poem.
Spell check won't keep you from misspelling hundreds of words. Example: She attended the bored meeting. Or, The butcher wade the meat. How about, He spoke with a certain flare. Now we know these should be board, weighed and flair. But if one does not understand basic language foundations of noun, verb and adjective, one will not be helped by spell check.
Here are some thread titles that I have discovered on the forum to have pathetically childish grammar, moronically spelled words etc... Enjoy.
