Evidently.

Can't you? I asked who 'we' is. The question mark symbol "?" I used is like a space to be filled in ... it asks for an answer to the 'question'.

An example would be "What is 2 + 2?" ... and you might say "4' ... but you wouldn't say "what is 5 + 9?'', at least not if you could read. In this case, however, I had asked 'who is we?' ... and so you wouldn't say 'can't you read?' ... but instead you would fill in the implied space, explaining what you meant by 'we.'

It's a fun game, but you have to pay attention. Now that it's your turn, try an 'answer,' which customarily ends in a period "." preceded by a 'thought' which 'addresses' the 'question.' Probably you can read, but you just don't speak English.
