question mark (?) sequential usage

Hello

I have looked at threads about question marks but I didn't find one about using them with sequential questions.

I wrote the following sentence:

How could you recognize a country person in new York? Would it be by their clothing? their speech? or just by their music?

My punctuation seems eminently sensible to me but is anyone aware of any guidelines about this? Is there a better way?

Thanks.

I googled "question mark in the middle of a sentence" and found comments on your question under the first two results:

http://www.whitesmoke.com/question-mark-usage - a post on "The Uses of Question marks" on a blog at whitesmoke.com.
http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/36821/using-a-question-mark-mid-sentence - a discussion about the various uses of question marks inside sentences at StackExchange.

In short, people seem either to agree with you or to think it's a question of preference.
I have never liked putting question marks inside sentences, but often it does seem to be the eminently sensible thing to do!
-I.

For what it's worth, I do this:
How could you recognize a country person in New York -- by their clothing, their speech, or just by their music?

The "or" in that list tells me that each is a question of its own.

As an aside, this is a more likely sentence for me because the "just" throws me off;
How could you recognize a country person in New York -- by their clothing, their speech, their music?

Thank you both for your answers. That just about covers it. 👁 Smile :)
👁 Thumbs Up :thumbsup:

Just to clarify ... I don't have a problem with multiple question marks ... I just tend to avoid them if the meaning is still pretty obvious.
