I thought it was only me! This "inverse question phrasing" is something I see popping up more and more in forums and such, especially phrases starting with "How it <verb>?" or "Why it <verb>?".

I often see this with non-native English speakers, for better or worse, when looking at other comments from folks who write like that. With that in mind, issues like these bother me less.

Surely, most of the usage is from non-native English speakers.

Auxiliary verbs (like "does") are not required to form questions in Russian, Spanish, Chinese, and probably many other languages.
