Re: "out of the question" and "out of question"
"Out of the question" means that something is unfavourable, out of consideration or wrong. "Placing gum under the desk is out of the question."
"Out of question" means unquestionable, certain or without a doubt. "It is out of question that Ryan is great at soccer."
"Out of question" means unquestionable, certain or without a doubt. "It is out of question that Ryan is great at soccer."
