Expressing reconsideration at the end of a sentence. Mon Jan 07, 2008 21:58 pm  Expressing reconsideration at the end of a sentence.
 

Can I add "I hope." or "I think." at the end of a sentence? Is it considered proper english?

e.g.:
    Bill Clinton can play the guitar. I think.
    I will have no problem sleeping early tonight. I hope.

My mind goes blank and cannot figure this one out. Intuitively it sounds fine to me but I can't tell if it's the English student or native Greek in me issuing the confirmation.

Of course I am talking about speaking or informal writing(e.g. forum posting, friendly messages,etc.).
