The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....

真是莫名其妙啊！问了一下，解释说：你假如把一个死龙虾往屋里一扔，人人都会看到。所以dead lobster意思是显而易见的东西。我问为何不用live lobster或者dead crab呢？回答是因为第一个人这么用了，所以大家也就这么用了。

Is that make making sense?

$ U# H4 e, U( E; ?& g/ S  BI think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

By the way, I often hear people use the phrase "make sense"; so I am wondering how to use them. There are some ways to use the phrase:

& u# ]: {( `# Q+ Y; r0 QAm I making sense?
- x. p1 V. P) j+ ^# i% W9 d  W! aDo I make sense?
Does it make sense?
It makes sense?（反问）
# ?8 d- |5 o2 ~: \1 S. |; g9 M; fIs it  making sense?
8 z: m/ o* \! G0 }+ e8 t$ QThat makes sense?( 反问)

If there 's  anything wrong, please correct it.I would appreciate it very much.

最常用的是Does it make sense?  It makes sense？ 很少听到其他几种用法。

* j7 J: }" }9 q1 E# d( ?2楼的那句，我和Heartbroke2 问了一下老外，老外说觉得这么用很怪，但也不知道该怎么改。有的老外还说，Dead Lobster也不完全是“显而易见“ 的意思。这词我们还是不用了吧，搞不清楚。

' x' ]1 O( I8 zI never heard this before, maybe Oliveoil knew about it.  We couldn't give it up until we really aware of this slang.  Anyway, I will check it out.
