Of course, plenty of times.
"A form of rhetoric, Rhetorical ' describes a statement or word asked merely for effect with no answer expected "
I missed the word of "expected" :p
Of course, plenty of times.
I have been asked rhetorical questions several times, especially at school but the teacher usually asks everyone the question out loud. Most of the time when my teacher does this is when shes upset with the class, she would like yell at us for the rest of the period.
The main one being, "Are you an idiot?"
it's funny when the person whom the rhetorical question is directed at doesnt get that its a rhetorical question, and proceeds to answer the question anyway.
