    Sure. It’s also pretty common as a joke format to respond to something one way when you know it was meant to be taken in a different way.

    In English we used to call it the old switcheroo, but my comment is a pretty lame example of one.

      Fair. It’s hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.

      Never know maybe both of our comments will help some people.

        Agreed. I appreciate that you went in for the explanation, BTW. It’s nice to see helpful people on here.
