| Feb 27, 2017 at 7:07 | comment | added | Sven Yargs | The unspoken complication here is that when people respond to the question "Have you got any ice cream?" with the single word "Yes," there's no way of discerning whether they are using "Yes" in their own minds as a truncation of the proper form "Yes, I have got some ice cream" or of the improper form "Yes, I do got some ice cream." In fact, the only way of to determine whether they are using "Yes" correctly or not, is to respond to their "Yes" by asking them directly, "Do you mean 'Yes, I have got some ice cream" or 'Yes, I do got some ice cream?'" | |
