Of course :-)

By the way, do you, Australians, put a space between the final word of a sentence and a question mark?

Definitely NOT. I have seen discussion of this on Tatoeba and I consider putting a space as incorrect (possibly something that might have been done in the dim past). I only put the space there to idicate some doubt in what I said. In a full sentence there would be no space.

Hmmm, I see... Thanks for the explanation. In French, they put a space between the final word of a sentence and the question mark. To indicate some doubt in French, they generally put the question mark in brackets like this: "soup (?)".

Cheers ^v^
