    In spanish questions intonation changes occur only on the last word(s), not the whole sentence. I'm not a linguistic, but I think it's so you can be sure a sentence is a question from the start.

    When reading english sometimes I assume a sentence is an affirmation until I see the question mark, and then I have to reinterpret the sentence. I wonder how it is for native english speakers. Do they assume nothing until the sentence is finished?

    Do they? I remember not long ago I just had to have an ads.js file, and if the user had an adblocker this file wouldn't load.

    So I just had a

    var ads_enabled = true;
    

    And I could check if the user had an adblock.

    I think most people just install ublock/others and leave it default. When I tried to customize ublock all those lists and regex pushed me away, never tried again since.
