Normally I like the English language. I'm no fanatic or anything, but I don't care that much that it's supposedly one of the hardest to learn because I learned it ok. By now you probably know that if I start off by telling you how I like something I'm going to move on to complain about it in some way or another.
Really it's question marks that bother me. In Spanish (disclaimer: my knowledge of Spanish grammar comes from EXTREMELY limited experience) you can put your question marks just around your question within a larger sentence. In English YOU CANNOT DO THIS and it makes me frustrated and confused when I try to compose a sentence that isn't a question but contains a question. And because this is how my life works I cannot currently think of a sentence like this.
Unrelated: Do you ever run into the problem of typing question marks instead of exclamation points and vice versa while texting? I don't have this problem in any other medium. Biggest offending statement? "Guess what?" Let's be real, guess what is not a question.
That is all.

Hahaha I know exactly what you mean about the question in a sentence thing. It frustrates me too.
And guess what? has always thrown me off too. We say it like a question, but it really isn't one.
