In The 'death' of Windows Nano Server, I see "Dude, were you wrong":




For about a year before Nano’s release in the Tech Preview builds of Server 2016, it was completely embraced by Microsoft as the ultimate small-footprint and low-patch version of their kernel. Jeffrey Snover even remarked that it would be “the future of the Windows Server OS.”

(Dude, were you wrong.)




IMHO right is "you were wrong". If it is not a question. But no '?', so it's not a question. How will be right?

It's not a question. Actually, it's inverted for emphasis. I read it with the "you" being stressed, and I think it would benefit from being italicized. I feel like it's roughly the same as "you were really wrong":




Dude, were you wrong.

→ Dude, you were really wrong.




The author is poking fun at "you", "you" being Jeffrey Snover.

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
