What does it mean when you put double question marks at the end of a sentenace?

Putting double question marks at the end of a sentence is not standard English grammar and is generally considered incorrect.

Here's why:

* One question mark is enough. A single question mark signals the end of a sentence and indicates that it's a question.

* Double question marks can be confusing. They might make the reader think there's an error in the sentence or that you're trying to emphasize the question, but it doesn't have a specific grammatical function.

If you want to emphasize a question, consider using other methods:

* Capitalization: "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?"

* Exclamation mark: "Is this really happening?!"

* Bolding: "Is this a joke?"

* Context: Using the question in a context that makes its importance clear.

Remember, clear and concise communication is important. Stick to standard grammar for the best results.
