Only through Campus magic. If that ends up failing, I somehow doubt everyone's going to retain any knowledge. You thought I was speaking Egyptian, after all, didn't you?

[She looks where he points.]

That's punctuation. Basically, it's a symbol we put at the end of a sentence to show what type of sentence that is. Whether we're asking a question, or we're stating something, or yelling it.

[She writes "ARE YOU HUNGRY?" on the page below it.]

This, for instance, is asking if you're hungry. The question mark is what shows it's asking. If you do it this way -- [She writes it again, using a period.] -- it becomes something you're stating rather than asking.

"Are you hungry?" is the question, "Are you hungry." is the statement.
