The dead lobster is how to attract end users.....
3 h, I1 J; z' X; P9 p
: e4 N* C4 t- Y2 Z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?

I think your sentence makes sense.But there are some little mistake around the sentence.Am I making sense?

9 A; d8 |# V1 l  e9 g9 l; l% uBy 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:
7 p' }8 D: w3 V. P& I% U
2 [* R" g; g# u' {# L6 @1 uAm I making sense?
Do I make sense?
" T) o! F/ i* U3 l: u8 L( }Does it make sense?

7 q; g$ F  M5 g+ N+ }Is it  making sense?
$ c. r" }; E0 F. T6 e& hThat makes sense?( 反问)

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

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。

You are right. I was just clerical error.
