> The other day, someone asked Kyle if the hat he was wearing was new. He replied by asking what the person meant by "new". Tip: don't do this. Just by refraining to ask such obnoxious questions, you'll become a better conversationalist. (of course there are situations when such questions can spark interesting discussion, but most of the time it just annoys the other person) > From an intuitive perspective — the perspective of the person asking the question — Kyle should have answered simply "yes" or "no".
