is used as a brand on cattle or when it could be used

completely entirely completely uninteresting.... A

question is a question and so why add to it the
question mark when it is already there when the
question is already there in the writing.”

Shall we never tire of deceiving, betraying, tormenting animals before they cease to trust us?””
