Rhetorical question
Hello
One of my friend made a statement ' this town seemed to be filled with oldies. where have allt he young ones gone."
The other said "on FB ??"
On enquiring about the question marks i was told that its a rhetorical question
I believe that if the sentence was "have you checked FB??", then it would have been. Can anyone clarify ??

- Amusing remarks, perhaps, but not rhetorical questions.
- I associate "rhetorical question" with such things as a beginning sentence of a travel brochure that goes like this Why would you want to explore the wilds of the Amazon with Jungle Adventures, Inc.?

I would not call either "On FB?" or "Have you checked FB?" a rhetorical question. Amusing remarks, perhaps, but not rhetorical questions.
