Re: \"All in?\" asked as a question, not a statement - ruling?
[ QUOTE ]
What is the difference between the question "all in?" and the statement "did he say all in?"

The second one will never make someone think, "That guy who said those words just moved all-in."
When it's your turn to act, your first words should not be "call, raise, fold, etc" unless that's what you want to do. Everyone at the table is expecting you to announce your action. If you're going to say anything that is NOT your intended action, you should make sure that you don't say something that could be mistakenly interpreted as your intended action.
Or you could keep saying things like "All-in?". You can keep bringing the game to a halt while we argue about what to do, and you can hope that a floorman doesn't rule that you have to push all your chips in when you don't want to.
