How many other ways can you say ?yes? when the Idrive guy asks:
?Is this the name of the person you would like to dial??
I?ve tried: ?sure? and ?affirmative? both have been successful.
I?ve also tried: ?why not? but that wasn?t successful.
I?ve looked in a thesauruses but no other saying seem to make any sense to the Idrive guy.

My guy often doesn't understand my rendition of "yes"--which is perfectly "normal." And, he definitely doesn't understand any substitutes. He usuallyjust gets his feelings hurt and says "voice entry ended" or some such thing when I tell him how dumb he is. Sometimes he tries to get even and takes me some place I didn't want to go.

How about in other languages? For eg, Cantonese ?
