Alternate commands needed
 
In what other ways can I express

echo jan?? feb?? mar??

I tried things like echo [jan;feb;mar]?? but they didn't work. I'm essentially trying to create a command that employs something like the distributive property in math, where you apply one multiplier to several member quantities in a group, all at once.

Try
Code:
echo {jan,feb,mar}??    # bash brace expansion
jan?? feb?? mar??

printf '%s?? ' jan feb mar
jan?? feb?? mar??
