Can a question be rude?

How do you politely ask a rude question?

Use “can,” “could,” or “would” when you make a request. Leading right away with a question word, like “who,” “what,” “why,” “where,” or “how,” might make your question sound rude or demanding. Ease into the question with one of these words instead so it sounds a little more polite when you're asking for information.
